Korridoret e Pritjes
In the cold corridors of a pediatric hospital, two mothers wait while their children undergo life-saving treatment. Elona, overwhelmed by fear and guilt, struggles to remain hopeful as the pressure begins to fracture her family. Nearby, Klara faces the same uncertainty with quiet resilience.
As the hours pass, the two women form an unexpected bond, sharing fragments of their lives, their anxieties, and the unbearable helplessness of waiting. Around them, doctors move behind closed doors, relatives search for answers, and time seems to stand still.
Inspired by a personal experience, "Korridoret e pritjes" (Corridors of Hope and Fear) is an intimate drama about parenthood, vulnerability, and the fragile connections people create when confronted with the possibility of loss.
