Hjertelandet

Straightforward documentary about a very interesting topic, which offers sharp insights into its subjects' lives and motivations. Focuses mainly on the women, who are not portrayed simply as victims: they make their own choices - but they do so under circumstances that severely constrain their options, such that the alternative to sex work is sometimes destitution. Travelling to Europe for marriage is portrayed as a step up from, but fundamentally not that different from, prostitution.
