This film is not about the film, but mostly about the subject of facilitated sexual child abuse and the human trafficking that goes along with it. Rumanian Fee, 10 yrs. old, falls in the hand of a trafficker who sells her to a club owner. 'Luckily' this club is under investigation and she is freed, but then the trouble begins. How to work with a justice system manned by the same people you're fighting against? How to keep your 'freed' children safe, and how to convince the law to go over to prosecution... I liked the sober film style, because it belongs to this harsh and grim subject. Not an easy film to watch, but we need movies like these, to keep our eyes open in this world.

Wende is simply stunning in this movie about love, and the emptiness is leaves behind when love's gone. The atmosphere is somewhat dark, but this fits the volatile nature of the character played by Wende. The film is also not too emotional / dramatic. The balance between drama and realism is always there it seemed to me. It really doesn't make sense to describe the movie any further, because the story itself is quite small. The characters and strong acting make it bigger than the story itself. Go see this movie at home or in a small theater. This does not fit big cinemas, due to the nature of this film. If you like small-drama / road-movies, then this will certainly fit your taste.
