Abstract

Selvie, which stands for cypress tree in Albanian, is one of the oldest symbols of mourning and death, but it is also a tree planted in burial sites for protection against evil spirits. Dwelling between mourning and hope, a woman named Selvie walks us through her own story, which is the one of many in Kamza. It is also a story that reminds us on the importance of community support and bonding as a form of resistance.
