Experiencing Interruptions?

Shining Darkness

Berisha family from Prizren, Republic of Kosovo are the heroes of this documentary film. They are six members, Nebi – the father, Zelije – the mother and four children, Valbona, Valon, Valmira and Diellza.
Besides Valbona, the other children of this family from the age of 7-8, have completely lost their sight due to a disease that causes the extinction of the eye stem cell.
The subject of this documentary is the ambition of this family to overcome this great challenge, especially for the mother who from housewife has to become a pedagogue and a teacher, while she reads all the school lessons for the children so they can know and remember them.
The success is already evident, as Valon Valmira are too close for gaining a Masters Degree at State University of Tetovo, while Diellza the younger daughter is in University of Prizren – Faculty of Law.
