Broken April is about the Kanun, an ancient Albanian ritual of the blood feud which for centuries has claimed thousands of lives. It is about honour rather than vengeance. One murder must be avenged with another – and then that murder must to be avenged and this can go on until every man from that family is wiped out. After most killings, the murderer is granted a thirty day Bessa where they are able to walk freely without fear of being killed.
