'The Lady from the City' is a 1976 Albanian comedy film directed by Piro Milkani, starring Violeta Manushi as Teto Ollga.
Plot
The film tells the story of Ollga, an old lady from the city that moved to the village to stay with her daughter, a young beautiful girl. Under socialism, young people were routinely sent to villages after graduation to work in order to get experience as well as contribute to previously underserved communities in their field of study. Her daughter, Meli, (Rajmonda Bulku) studied as a nurse. Teto Ollga had an attitude of superiority toward villagers, but at the end, she finds herself comfortable among them and she becomes useful as she starts working as chef. The movie features a great view of the village, Tushemisht, located in Pogradec, Albania, with its numerous canals, the lake, Drilon springs, and high mountains.
