Trying to leave the rough life of Eastern Europe behind to find new possibilities and to provide for her son, single mom Laila, (Carina de Vroome), from Belarus found a job at a restaurant in the Netherlands through an online job portal.
Her life drastically changes when her job expectations aren't met at all and turn out to be a nightmare you don't wish for your worst enemy or your mom for that matter.
"Mother is the name of god, on the lips and in the hearts of all children in the world." - William Makepeace Thackeray
That quote hits hard as the young mother gets stripped of her phone and her passport. She is now an isolated victim of a human trafficking organization for prostitution. The red light district of Amsterdam needs new merchandise and it's being sorted.
Nikolai her boyfriend from Belarus whom she trusts and loves, turns out to be a crucial part of this prostitution ring by deceiving young women with a promise of a better life and job opportunities abroad. He keeps her dancing in the windows of Amsterdam. Out of fear Laila is obedient. She can't trust anybody. Even the Amsterdam police is being paid off by the criminals.
Nikolai's threat towards her child and her family is unbearable.
The brothel is under investigation by a collaborative task force of the German and the Dutch police. The felons drop a bombshell and the police must intensify their efforts after an undercover cop is found dead. Decapitated alive.
Several failed attempts by the police to infiltrate the ring make it harder for main investigator Alex Pollack (Hannes Jaenicke) to win Laila over as an informant.
Like a Phoenix from the ashes Laila rises with immense new willpower and determination to fend for her life and her family.
Trying to fix the problem, up the hierarchy the bosses are willing to let heads roll.
Pollack's team succeed to take down the snake with it's head by a clever coup and a lipstick.
The director Ismail Sahin manages a successful outcome with this unsettling story about real life events. His cast wonderfully portrays this dramatic plot.
Hannes Jaenicke and Carina de Vroome shine in their dark and hopeful performances.
