Kristo ponders the meaning of these words as he writes: "The lake can give you everything if you just know how to ask." Kristo looks out the window and recalls the events of the past few months. Young Kristo lives in a village at the edge of gorgeous Lake Prespa, a body of water divided on the borders of three Balkan countries – Albania, Macedonia and Greece. In order to support his family, Kristo has become a small-time marijuana smuggler, using his boat and knowledge of the lake waters to transport drug packages from the Albanian to the Macedonian side...

Lake Prespa is beautiful, but that's about all that really caught my eye. The protagonist seemed too young to me to sail through the lake and through life. If a little more work had been done on the dialogue and the relationships between the characters, it could have been quite a compelling film highlighting the contemporary problems of everyday people in the area.
