Përrallë nga e Kaluara - Film Shqiptar me Titra Anglisht | A Tale from the Past - Albanian Movie with English Subtitles

A Tale from the Past (Albanian: Përralle Nga e Kaluara) is a 1987 Albanian historic comedy film directed by Dhimiter Anagnosti.Based on the book A Bridegroom at Fourteen by Andon Zako Çajupi.

To meet the desires and needs of the parents, a marriage is arranged between 14-year-old Gjino and 20-year-old Marigo. Gjino reluctantly obeys, but Marigo, who loves another, tries various devious methods to free herself from this bizaare marriage agreement. Marigo plots revenge on those who arranged the marriage and in the end sees them get their come-uppance.

A film of its time, the story is seen through the prism of Communist disapproval of backward, traditional customs. But it is these traditions which give the film much of its interest for modern-day (especially foreign) audiences.

Tale from the Past won various awards for those involved in it: a national prize for the screenplay in 1988, second place in the 8th Albanian Film Festival in 1990 and, at the same Festival, prizes for the actresses Elvira Diamanti and Hajrie Rondo.
