The War is Over

In 1999 the Rahmanis and their three children emigrated to Switzerland during the NATO bombing in Serbia. After years of living in their new homeland, the family faces the prospects of deportation. Desperate to stay, Rasim - the father of the family and an ex- music teacher - masterminds the making of an Albanian Dance Troupe in order to garner signatures of support from the community… The War is Over is an intimate narrative that reflects the common immigrant experience in the age of globalization. Can a good man hold up under the excruciating pressures of war, exile and deportation? Will he be able to rebuild his life abroad and make sense of it?
