Sundance triple award winner and Kosovo's official submission for the Academy Awards, Hive is a searing drama based on the true story of Fahrije (Yllka Gashi), who, like many women in her patriarchal village, has lived with fading hope and burgeoning grief since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. In order to provide for her struggling family, she convinces these fellow widows to launch a business selling a local food product. Together, they find healing and solace in considering a different future—but their will to begin living independently is met with hostility. The men in the village condemn Fahrije's efforts to empower herself and others, starting a feud that threatens their newfound sovereignty—and the financial future of Fahrije's family. Against the backdrop of Eastern Europe's civil unrest and lingering misogyny, Fahrije and her community struggle to find hope in the face of an uncertain future.
