Import/Export
Directed by Ulrich Seidl
Produced by Pronto Film, Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion
A bleak, unflinching examination of economic desperation and sexual exploitation across Eastern and Western Europe, told through parallel narratives of two people searching for dignity in a system designed to dehumanize them.
A nurse from Ukraine searches for a better life in the West, while an unemployed security guard from Austria heads East for the same reason. Both are looking for work, a new beginning, an existence, struggling to believe in themselves, to find a meaning in life...
