Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 14 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Engineer Ilir wants to drill for oil in an area in which there exists no data from previous researchers. Faced with disagreement from his colleague, as well as the lack of experience, he is determined to finish the job.
