Prostitution

About This Movie

Prostitution (2016) dives deep into the grim reality of survival under extreme duress. It follows the harrowing journey of Soo-hyeon and Hye-ji, a mother-daughter duo, grappling with the aftermath of betrayal and desperation. The film doesn't shy away from the raw and unsettling themes, depicting their descent into a life that no one would choose but feels forced upon them. The atmosphere is thick with tension, accentuated by the performances that feel achingly real, almost uncomfortably so. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of their situation to linger. Not exactly a conventional romance in any sense, but it presents a stark exploration of human resilience and the lengths one would go for survival amidst overwhelming odds.
