What&apos;s inside that counts....

In the United States, an old adage is &quot;when god gives you lemons, you make lemonade.&quot; The notion of someone turning your curse into a blessing, or the US equivalent a successful product.

The Albanian tale, even if not for the particulars, is sadly a familiar one. The women in fact are twice victims, first of a massacre of their men...and then of the misogyny and confinement placed upon them by other remaining men.

The lead actress steadfastly carries her stoicism and her family, through the roughest of times. She looks a bit like Sandra Bullock but strong and severe. She and others do their best to help a town make it through the worst of times, again the tail is familiar but some how the movie. Injects enough local flavor, that it is impossible to root for Fahrije and her fellow queen bees.

And for Fahrije and her family, the young son - the torn daughter and especially the father-in-law, who struggles with physical and emotional injury but provides a key aspect of the caring male in world where few to none are left.

Side note : I&apos;m not sure a man can ever be a feminist. But no doubt a real man can appreciate feminism in action.

Anyways, this almost feels like a documentary - as the story is based in a reality that surely left many reeling. And while product placement may be a bane for many movies, here the label is less important than what is inside.

Then again, isn&apos;t that always the case in ajvar and humans as well.
