Të paftuarit (The uninvited) is a 1985 Albanian drama film based on the novel Broken April by the award winning author Ismail Kadare. The film was directed by Kujtim Çashku and its main theme is the blood feud (Gjakmarrja) on a strong political background. The story is set in 1939 Albania and revolves around two main threads.
