After being released from prison, Mirja, Evin Ahmad is greeted by her younger half-sister Isa, Ella Åhman, and a tight-knit circle of friends — Gizem Erdogan as Sara, Malin Persson as Emmy, and Segen Tesfai as Nina. The group had plotted a failed robbery with the dream of moving to Montevideo, and their shared history of risk doesn’t fade quickly; they soon turn their attention to a new target, a jewelry store, driven by a mix of loyalty and desperation. Emmy receives an eviction notice, which heightens the urgency and tightens the noose around their fragile plans, making every choice feel heavier and more consequential.
