The guests hand over wedding-presents. The girls are continuously playing on the def (a kind of small tambourine, beaten with small metallic plates), while the women prepare the meal. The wedding-guests then walk in a procession to the village of the bride, carrying the Albanian national flag. In the village of the bride young and older wedding-guests, arranged in two different groups, perform an Albanian folk dance. The camera also catches the moment when the bride, amid tears, leaves the parental home and enters the carriage which takes her to her husband. Finally we see the bride arriving in the house of the bridegroom. |
