Joy

Joy · dir. Sudabeh Mortezai
Austria 2018, 101’ · Polish premiere

26 October, 15:00 · CKK Jordanki

Joy and Precious are Nigerian women walking the streets in Vienna. Joy is the older and more experienced one, Precious only a teenager and a novice fresh from Nigeria. They both work for Madame, their pimp and exploiter who has paid their journey to Europe and makes them pay off the debts with an iron fist. They live in a cramped flat with a group of other women, all of them Madame‘s girls. Madame comes every week to collect the money and controls every aspect of their lives. There is a kind of sisterhood in their shared fate and suffering but no real solidarity as every woman is fighting on her own to pay off and finally be free.
