It is an homage to the old Tirana. It is the ’30’s. Albania, finally has a name, a government and a capital. And what a capital! Tirana is revealed to us with the tonalities of a black and white photography. Thanks to a masterful stile, we feel the stench of the sewers in the open sky; the sweat of the wage earners, the dogs roaming in the streets, but also the smell of the soap, the smell of the cooking on the ground floor and fruits that weigh on the trees in the yard. The white dust of plaster and the streets dazzle our eyes and the noisy roar of children in Bazar it’s another part of Tirana. And in this roar of voices and characters, Di Hima, the chief investigator of Tirana, a wise man, with an attractive character and still unmarried, investigates the murder of the Greek Andon, revealing a world of secrets and blackmails, by which can be saved only by a simple and peaceful love. The author reveals a grotesque and at the same time heartbreaking picture of a poor Albania, hungry and trampled, where human life has no value; and honor is just a façade to the eyes of the world. In fact, nothing has changed… almost a century ago, what was Tirana still remains Tirana.
