SEEFest - WATERDROP

In a picturesque Albanian town on the shores of Lake Ohrid, Aida reigns as a tough, successful businesswoman. As city planner, she manages the allocation of lucrative EU subsidies, navigating a corrupt system where her boss pockets large portions of the funds. To maintain her position in this ultra-masculine, patriarchal world, Aida isn't above accepting the occasional bribe herself. Her carefully constructed life crumbles when her teenage son Mark is accused of sexual assault by a classmate. Convinced of his innocence, Aida launches her own investigation, defying both her husband's wishes and police authority. As she delves deeper, Aida encounters a suffocating wall of silence, envy, and deep-seated prejudice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth unearths a tangled web of lies that threatens to unravel everything she's built. Aida soon realizes she must confront the very monster she helped create – a corrupt system she's long been complicit in. Her journey not only challenges her beliefs about her son but forces her to reckon with her own moral compromises. With her family's future and her own redemption at stake, Aida must decide how far she's willing to go and what she's prepared to sacrifice in her quest for justice.

There will be a Q&A after the film with actress Klodjana Keco.
