Paradise: Love
Directed by Ulrich Seidl
Produced by Société Parisienne de Production, Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion
A bleak, unflinching examination of transactional desire and exploitation across lines of class, race, and age, told with observational distance and moral ambiguity.
On the beaches of Kenya they’re known as "Sugar Mamas" —European women who seek out African boys selling love to earn a living. Teresa, a 50-year-old Austrian and mother of a daughter entering puberty, travels to this vacation paradise, moving from beach to beach.
