Lilya 4 Ever
From the acclaimed director of the fantastic TOGETHER and SHOW ME LOVE comes this searing tale of a contemporary Russian teenage girl. Lilya (played by Oksana Akinsha) lives in a small poor town but is on her way to a better life in America with her mother and her boyfriend. But she is shockingly abandoned, badly injured by the roadside and left to fend for herself. She befriends Volodya, a homeless younger boy, and they share the house and try to make the best of their situation. Sniffing glue and playing hardcore music, Lilya soon falls into prostitution to give them money to buy food, and this soon escalates into rape and violence. Then one day a Swedish businessman arrives on the scene and she's soon in love with him, especially as he promises her a better life in Sweden. Moodysson's SHOW ME LOVE also dealt with teenage alienation, but LILYA 4 EVER is incredibly moving and affecting but unrelentingly bleak.

harrowing
This is a documentary, to watch when looking for facts, not fun.
It is well made but I found it too sad to be enjoyable.
It reminded me of... read more » - 214101

Disturbing and thought provoking
This was a deeply moving portait of social decay involving poverty and sex trafficking. Not for those who like light entertainment

Russia's 'Song's of Praise'
Don't watch this film if you are feeling sad or unsure of your position in life. Stay away from motorways,
