"A cup of coffee and new shoes worn", the film that presents Albania


"A cup of coffee and new shoes on", written and directed by Gentian Koçi, will represent Albania at the Oscars 2023, in the "Best Foreign Film" category.
The National Center of Cinematography in Albania selected the film between two other productions this year: "One of Us" by director Ergys Meta and "The Rise and Fall of Comrade Zylo" by Fatmir Koçi.
"A cup of coffee and new shoes on" tells the story of two twin brothers who have to face an incurable disease.
In the main roles are the two well-known Portuguese actors Edgar Morais and Rafael Morais. The film brings the debut of the Albanian actress Drita Kabashi.
The best foreign film category at the Oscars has always been considered a victory for the country rather than the film itself.
In 2020, South Korea's Parasite became the first international feature film winner and the first non-English-speaking film overall to also win in the Best Picture category.
