In this video, I travel across Albania, exploring its communist legacy and discovering what the country looks like today. From bunkers, abandoned factories, and museums that preserve the memory of its isolated past, to unique architecture, cultural landmarks, and natural wonders — I try to see Albania from different sides. This journey is not only about history, but also about understanding the country as it is now.
