Kanun is a traditional Albanian code of behavior and honor that has been passed down through generations. It governs everything from family relationships to community disputes, and is deeply ingrained in Albanian culture.
One of the key principles of Kanun is the concept of blood feuds, where families seek revenge for a perceived wrong. This has led to a cycle of violence that has plagued Albanian society for centuries.
Despite efforts to modernize and move away from the strict rules of Kanun, many Albanians still adhere to its principles. The code continues to shape their lives and interactions, often leading to conflict and tragedy.
Through the story of a young man caught in a blood feud, Kanun explores the complexities of Albanian society and the struggle to break free from the constraints of tradition.
