This week, a story that spans three generations of women: Sara, her mother, and her grandmother. In their collective lifetimes, Albania entered a communist dictatorship; the regime fell; and then there was a transition. And through it all, there was a dish: trahana.
This is the third episode from our series This Is What A Generation Sounds Like: intimate stories from young Europeans across the continent.
