37th German European Film Weekend: Lilya 4-Ever

Lukas Moodysson 2002 (SE) Based on actual turn-of-the-21st century suicides of escaped post-Soviet child prostitutes in the suburbs of Sweden, the film revolves around Lilya who follows a young man to Sweden. She gets a job and an apartment but all is not what it seems. ‘Lilya 4-Ever’ is a stark, frank and disturbing vision of the underground sex trade.
