Three young sisters share a rented apartment in Rome’s university district with their respective boyfriends. Active in the student collective yet openly opposed to its leadership, they see themselves as guardians of a legacy of betrayed struggles, convinced they can renew a true sense of the “commons” on a small scale. Marginalized and outnumbered within the collective, they decide to make a documentary about the student occupation of the university.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Variety by Staff [Not Credited]
An unquestionably eye-opening, deeply human, strikingly lensed look at an impoverished family whose rudimentary living conditions are a sharp riposte to the illusion of China’s economic boom.
Slant Magazine by Chris Cabin
Wang Bing's no-frills style of documentation visually echoes the preadolescent trio's simple yet unforgiving world and its sense of labor as life.
