KANUN

Lorik, in his early thirties, works in Brussels as an accomplice of the Albanian mafia together with his mentor Aleks. He falls in love with Sema, an art student born in Turkey. The past doesn't let go of Lorik. A guy from Albania, whose father was murdered by Lorik's uncle, has tracked him down and, according to the rules of the 'Kanun' (traditional Albanian law), wants the debt to his family to be paid in blood. In other words, he asks the clan for Lorik's death.
