As they go about their everyday business, a customs officer, a housewife, a waiter in a brothel, a diplomat, and a taxi driver tell of dashed hopes, false promises, forced prostitution, and exploitation. They have obviously not personally experienced the events they describe; the situations are staged—but what is told has happened: the rehearsed stories of suffering delivered in a monotone voice have been assembled from protocols of talks with woman who have become victims of trafficking.
