Her and Grandpa were different and definitely not the same. In her final year of school, Grandpa faces a devastating diagnosis and makes one request: 

To go home. 

But he doesn’t mean his semi-detached down the road and she knows he can’t go alone. 

By turns unexpected and fantastical, the pair soon find themselves journeying into the heart of Albania. As Grandpa begins to reveal the truth about his life before England, she must now find a way to say goodbye to the grandfather she only just got the chance to know. 

Inspired by true events, the multi-award nominated In the Land of Eagles takes us on an epic journey of heritage across borders, through a country that is too often misunderstood. A story about the lengths we go to, to make amends for the mistakes of our past.
