Promised Land (2004)
Sobre o filme
Under the Sinai desert moon, a group of young women from Eastern Europe
warms up in front of a camp fire. These people are part of a clandestine
convoy led by Arabs on camels. The group is on the border of Israeli
territory, to where these young women will be taken as victims of the
lucrative white slave trade. These girls have no choice and their
future is to be put up for auction like cattle. They’re frequently
subjected to all sorts of violence and abuse in exclusive prostitution
clubs. For these expatriates, without families and friends, there are
few options left for a genuine human contact. Yet, one of the local
night club madams tries to provide these girls with a little comfort,
and a few close bonds are formed between them. However, they don´t have
anything to look forward to in this unpromised land.
