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.

I watch it with my wife, but we were a little bit disappointed with that end but the core of that was great, how joy managed the situation at the end and how this crazy world show to us his creepy and occult true..

OK, I watched it all the way thru and just kept saying, WHY? I understand being trapped into prostitution and have to work your way out... There is way too many plot holds and things that don't make any sense. I'm giving it a 6 out of 10 Stars because I know some work went into this. Maybe I will watch the ending again to try and figure what the hell happened! LOL, No spoilers but, watch the throwing money around and say WTF?

How they slaughtered an animal i hope this is not real otherwise this movie is a huge shame !!!!

Pro_Viewer, hopefully for you and others who may not understand the end of this film. I do. I am not just Nigerian but I was born and grew up in Benin City. Basically, Joy returns home, of course she does not find a viable job so we see her at a party. Now she is holding some money along with other people. These sort of people in parties, usually change high denomination of naira notes for lower ones. The party goer then gets to spray this lower denomination notes to the celebrants. It is a Nigerian thing to spray guests/hosts at their parties. Typically someone like Joy will get some money for this sort of service. Nevertheless, it should be noted that such gain is little or nothing. Joy knows this and realizes her existence back at home will be fraught with continued hardship, not forgetting her daughter is still in Austria. She approaches a man spraying money at the party (obviously someone connected and rich) and pleads with him to remember her. The man promises to sponsor her next trip to Europe but reminds her it will be done in 2 days time but she needs to swear to an oath again. Hence the same cycle of prostitution is about to repeat itself again in Joy's life. Sad tale.

Everyone has to earn their money, live their lives and so forth. Some of the stories of people doing just that are more interesting than others. Some of the hardships are more worth to follow than others. If you don't mind the context of how or what our main characters are doing, you should be overall fine. Still the drama unfolds at a slow pace which might not work to everyones favor or wish.

Having said that, there is attention to detail (you decide if that's good or bad) and the story does work overall. Don't expect anything fancy or flashy though

This movie is best avoided! It relies on a plot that's as original as sliced bread and a narration that's as dreary as watching paint dry.

Please watch this story. It impacted me. I find myself thinking about the characters days after i watched it. I wont look at this situation the same way again.

So I get that joy is/ was a prostitute trying to get out and live a better life with her daughter etc she also did a lot of stupid things but anyways What I'm confused about is the part where the police came to her home....why was she deported?

Was the madam and the crew arrested and deported as well or was it just her...I find it confusing because of all the effort she made to expose these people.

Also when you see her at the market place with that money what was that all about was she looking to go back to Austria and doing the same thing again or what, can someone please explain.

Thank you.

Excellent film on the vicious circle of prostitution. That's the core of the movie: even if you get out of the business, something so intense happened that you will never be the same, and "virtue" will ellude you, even in subliminal ways.

But on the other hand this is a story about Nigerian women who go to work as prostitutes in Austria and get into debt, after making an oath with a juju priest to enforce the contract that the women "sign": it is a cultural bind, a process of enslavement from which there is no escape. For you may become "free" after paying your debt to a madam, but at home your soul is still a prisoner in the form of a charm that the juju priest keeps with him, until a relative breaks the spell, after the debt is settled...

Beliefs, life, survival. A very good film, made by a German filmmaker of Iranian origins. Many awards in Venezia, Chicago, Sevilla, London and other international events. Highly Recommended.

This story was moving and beautiful, we need more stories like this being told. It's sad a lot of people didn't understand it.
