For the first time in the history of Albanian cinema, a film has managed to sell out all the tickets twice in a row, without even being shown in theaters. The long-awaited comedy “Luli & Goni i Lemes” has aroused extraordinary curiosity among the public, forcing the Cineplexx cinema chain to add new schedules to cope with demand.
The comedy will premiere on April 11. "Luli & Goni Lemes" is one of the comedies that combines pure humor with strong emotions, screenwriter Klaudia Brahimaj told Anabel.
In the film, Goni (Deivis Myslymi), a typical mommy's boy, and Lemja (Aurela Gaçe), his authoritarian mother, return from emigration to find a traditional Albanian bride. However, their plans are ruined when Luli (Margent Caushi), a comical and naive character, joins them on their journey. Although Luli intends to help, he often makes the situation more difficult. Part of the cast is also Fjoralba Ponari, who will bring a pleasant surprise with her interpretation.
Klaudia told Anabel that one of the film's strongest points is the cast of actors, who will surprise you with their performance and chemistry. Margent Caushi, known for his supporting roles that have always stood out, appears for the first time as the protagonist. Deivis Myslymi, successful in "Orange", brings a completely different interpretation to the film. Fjoralba Ponari appears in a new role for her, while Aurela Gaçe shows that she knows how to shine not only in music, but also in cinema.

The selection of actors was done based on their compatibility with the role and chemistry between them, avoiding the concept of selecting names simply to attract attention. Each actor tested himself before becoming part of the project and this brought a natural harmony to the screen.
Unlike ordinary comedies, “Luli & Goni Lemes” is not just a movie with jokes. In addition to laughter, the film will make you feel excited, fall in love and reflect. Essentially, it puts into play several phenomena of Albanian society by conveying messages through the universal language of humor – which, after all, is the ability to laugh at yourself.
