The Knight of Kruja
1940, Italian. Directed by Carlo Campogalliani.
Young Italian journalist Stefano Andriani travels to Albania, where he falls in love with Eliana, a local girl, and she with him. One day, Andriani comes across the tribal chief Hasslan Haidar, an opponent of King Zog's regime, wounded by the royal guards. He saves him, taking him to his village, and makes a "blood pact" with him, which makes them brothers. Later, the journalist accidentally discovers that the tribal chief is Eliana's brother, and he must therefore give up his plans for marriage. In addition, the chief of police in Tirana tries to exploit the situation to turn Hasslan against Andriani. The arrival of Italian troops, who conquer Albania, resolves everything and allows the misunderstanding to be cleared up.
