La conquista de Albania

The film portrays the ambitious military campaign set in the medieval era, highlighting themes of conquest and kingdom politics. Centered around the historical backdrop of King Carlos II's reign, it tells the story of Luis' expedition into Albania, which was part of his wife’s dowry.

Despite its grand premise, the film emphasizes dialogue among the characters, leading up to a final battle that ultimately unfolds as a small skirmish. This juxtaposition between the grand idea of conquest and the reality of the battle lends a unique perspective to the narrative. Featuring a cast that includes Xabier Elorriaga and Chema Muñoz, La conquista de Albania offers a glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of history.
