Joy works as a prostitute in Vienna. She wants to support her daughter and her family at home in Nigeria, but first has to buy herself out of the contract with Madame, her pimp. Just when freedom seems within Joy’s reach, she is made responsible for Precious, a girl who does not want to accept her fate. In a congenial connection of seemingly documentary realism and sensitive fiction, Sudabeh Mortezai succeeds in creating a forceful film about the society in which we live.
