Spoiled Mimoza

In @Spoiled Mimoza@, a little stubborn girl who lives with her grandmother is rejected by the children in her apartment block after refusing to share her prized toys. One day a mason working nearby sees her behaviour, and manages to persuade her to be tolerant and modest.§Shot at the end of a period of liberalization in Albanian arts, this drama highlights Keko’s singular ability to elicit strong performances from her child actors, always with the proper socialist outcome.
