Anja Salomonowitz takes an unusual approach to the global phenomenon of human trafficking: Her film is based on the real accounts of trafficked women, from which the director has developed a documentary-style screenplay. The stories are not retold by actors, but by people who could have a connection to the events and places depicted in the film: a customs officer, a villager, a brothel waiter, a diplomat, and a taxi driver. A film about false promises, exploitation, disappointment, and the search for alternative paths.
