Directed by Men Lareida

88 minutes, CH, 2013

Story

She hopes to make big money in Zurich. That’s why Viktoria leaves her home in Budapest. She spends nights on the streets of Zurich under pale streetlights, waiting for customers whom she satisfies in their cars in dark parking lots. She fights her disgust with thoughts of what she will do at home with all that money. Despite her predicament, she also finds love and friendship – and herself – amidst the violence and the world of fast sex.
The film was shot on location in Budapest and Zurich.
