Worth to watch. Is not a sex movie
by manugw2019-06-02
8/10

"Show the inside story of how a prostitution ring that exploit African women is managed in Europe (Austria). The film show the raw realities this poor women face without gory excesses and alluring sex scenes. This is not a sex movie but a fiction about a pitiful everyday reality with a particular outlook. It has also a surprising ending that leaves room to inner debate...."
