Kazerma (English: The Barracks) is a 2025 Albanian thriller film written by Turjan Hysko and Edi Oga, and directed by Xhoslin Rama and Turjan Hysko. The film centers on a reality show competition incorporating elements of military discipline, where contestants are kept under constant surveillance and face physical and psychological challenges.[1][2]
The film is set in contemporary Albania, where public attention and social media engagement are viewed as metrics of success. The story follows Fredi (Igli Zarka), a former reality show winner, who enters a new format titled Kazerma. The competition takes place in an isolated military barracks, with a grand prize of €200,000.[3]
Following the closure of the competition within the controlled environment, which is surveilled 24/7, the contest gradually shifts into a psychological confrontation. The producer, Arius (Turjan Hysko), and his team aim to incite conflict by exploiting the pasts and secrets of the competitors, blurring the lines between television entertainment and actual danger.[3]
