《大地之子》是科索沃在前南斯拉夫联邦时代下的第一部被禁的电影，由于科索沃电影制片厂（Kosovafilm）本来制作的影片就不多，再加上这一地区连年战乱不断，以致于现在几乎很少能看到科索沃本土导演拍摄的民族电影，所以仅有的几部未被战火所毁坏的影片也更显得珍贵。 The first Kosovan film ever to be banned and censored in the former Yugoslavia was Man of Earth, directed and co-written by Agim Sopi. The film was shot between 1984 and 1985. It portrays the fate of an Albanian family from Kosovo who is exiled to Turkey. The main character is expelled from his country with no family and no friend. He is no more than a wandering ghost, looking desperately for means to return to his country. The only way he can really return however, is through death. AGIM SOPI: Film-maker.
