#video#Albania Bedri Gosteroni, 65, was born female, but she had to take on a man’s role after her brother’s death. As a result, she became a burrnesha or a sworn virgin. The word ‘burrnesha’ translates as ‘he-she’. It’s a centuries-old tradition in northern Albania from the medieval canon of laws known as the Kanun. When the male heirs of a family died or were killed, a daughter could assume the role of patriarch by taking a vow of celibacy. So Burrnesha dress and live as men. They are very rare these days, and most people, even in Tirana, have never heard of them. Take a journey across the mountains of Albania in search of burrneshas in the documentary, The Virgins.
