Berlinale2020 exclusive: Synergetic takes Antoneta Kastrati's Kosovo Oscar entry 'Zana' for North America
Taking a bet on U.S. audiences' growing appetite for unusual foreign-language drama, Synergetic Distribution has picked up North American rights topremiered in Toronto last year, where it drew rave reviews for its haunting story of post-traumatic stress and the psychological scars of war, inspired by Kastrati's own tragic family history.
The plot of Zana also has a touch of horror about it. Set in a small Kosovar town 10 years after the end of the Balkan wars, Lume , who is still traumatized from losing her young daughter in the war, is under pressure from her husband Ilir to get pregnant. As an increasingly desperate Ilir attempts more and more extreme methods, from psychologists to quack medical cures to holy men and even an exorcist, his mother Remzije pushes him to replace his current wife with a younger model.
