Synopsis:
Milena (11), a spirited Muslim Romani girl, juggles her school aspirations with the chaos of her sister Bogdana's (16) wedding preparations in their impoverished village. As traditions clash with modern dreams, Milena's first menstruation symbolizes her fear of being forced into an early marriage. Written in collaboration with and portrayed by native Romani, the film delves into a pre-wedding game where Milena struggles to challenge the fate (kismet) imposed on her by tradition.
Comments:
"Kismet" is a film that delves into the roles of women, questioning traditional gender expectations and exploring the complexities of female identity within Muslim Romani culture, focusing on the experiences of young Romani women. Film captures the pivotal moments of their lives as they navigated cultural pressures and societal norms. This narrative sheds light on universal themes of identity, tradition, and self-determination within a marginalized community.
