This is a bleak and grim story of a teenager in a world of no hope, poverty, desolation and despair. Her descent into some grim life choices are sad. The filming is pretty bleak. There is a real message with this film particularly the end (no plot spoilers) but it is not a pleasant watch on any level. Do you want mindless Hollywood pulp? Probably not but sometimes the other extreme is just as unpalatable.
This a neat little low budget effort. It nicely captures the hideous pain of poverty in a dead community and delivers some lovely poignant moments particularly betwen the two main characters, a 16-y.o. girl and a boy several years her junior. A device from Wenders' Wings of Desire lets us see all the horror but still come up smiling. Unfortunately the imposed happyish ending rather undermines the dedication to the victims of child sex trafficking.Worth seeing, but could have been so much better.
