Dassas plays a young woman from the country who turns to prostitution in order to keep her lover, Lionel, from committing a robbery. But she becomes trapped inside an international prostitution ring which takes her to Holland, Germany, Mexico, and finally Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, Dassas becomes addicted to heroin, and after learning the truth behind her affair with Lionel, the drug becomes her solace. Lionel had posed as her lover in order to trick her into prostitution, which Dassas learns through a conversation with an Interpol agent. The film treats the theme of prostitution in a very realistic manner, showing the complex ways a woman can become involved in prostitution. Absent are the usual stereotypes present in so many films dealing with this subject. leave a comment
