What do we see in the lives of these women? Do we sympathize or understand them?

)—a kind young man who has the misfortune of working for some unsavory characters—causes strain and trouble for the trio.

Another disruption appears in the form of Lena , a Kosovo ex-pat who has been raised in Paris and only visits to spend time with her grandmother. Initially, Lena and Qe form a tenuous friendship, marred in part by Jeta’s possessive jealousy. But it’s Lena’s presumptive attitude that ultimately drives a wedge between her and the other women.

Lena romanticizes the friends’ lives as idyllic and “simple”: living in the countryside, nothing required of them but spending their days lazing about in the sun. In many ways, she exoticizes them, an impulse Qe, especially, pushes back against vehemently. One of the most salient moments in the film is a conversation over freedom.

While the central conflict of the film purports to be Qe, Li and Jeta’s decision to partake in a life of crime in order to finally get out of town, the heist aspect offeels almost beside the point. The ending is abrupt and strange, perhaps not doing the film justice, but what stuck with me was the first two-thirds of the film and its intimate portrait of young adults whose fates may already be sealed.

Or are we, like Lena, merely interlopers romanticizing their deserted fantasies and curtailed hopes?
