The Forgotten Mountain is a 2018 Albanian feature film written, directed and produced by Ardit Sadiku. The narrative focuses on a retired Albanian army colonel who finds himself suddenly defrauded of his home by his son. The Forgotten Mountain was shown at the Palic Film Festival.[1]
Rikard, after losing his property, relies on the kindness of his daughter, Ema, and her husband, Lorenc, who offer him a cabin dwelling in the ‘Accursed Mountains’. Disoriented by the foggy alpine landscape, Rikard travels deep into the mountains, along with Ema and Lorenci, in an attempt to find some peace of mind. However, in the wilderness, the trio encounter a strange man named Alban, who manages a local estate. Alban, posing as a kindly neighbor, takes a sinister personal interest in Ema and therefore starts to manipulate the family.[2] [3] [4]
