[metal bars clanking]
[pigs grunting, snorting]
[pig squealing]
[pigs continue squealing]
[woman gasps]
[squealing continues]
Welcome to my home.
[in Serbian] Come on,
everyone's waiting for you.
[in English] Sven, it's women only.
Make yourself scarce.
[indistinct chatter]
- [woman shushing]
- [in Serbian] Good evening to all.
[all gasping, laughing]
What a pleasure!
Look who I've brought with me!
[woman 1] Good evening.
Look at the young folks.
[woman 2] Good evening.
Oh, you're so elegant.
[woman 3] It's true what Rosella says!
Good evening. Good evening.
But your daughter told me
you were in Paraćin.
[woman 4] I was, I was,
but I had to come for you.
[woman 5] Her aura is wonderful.
[woman 6] I wish you luck.
I wish you luck.
[women whispering]
- I wish you luck.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
[speaking Serbian]
[Rosella singing in other language]
- I wish you luck.
- Thank you.
[women laughing]
It's not the same, though.
Nope, not the same.
Good luck to you especially.
- [Rosella] Thank you.
- [woman laughing]
Here, a little bit.
[Rosella, in English] This is the finest,
most elegant room in the house.
There we are.
[speaking Serbian]
[in English] All right.
Hmm?
These are a few things
I want you to help me with.
Some are more important
than others, you know.
I mean [exhales]
what matters most to me,
my biggest wish
I want to have a baby.
[sighs]
I know what you are thinking,
but it's not unheard of
[inhales sharply]
for a woman of my age to get pregnant.
And now that you have come here
to me [scoffs]
Hmm.
It will take time.
[Rosella] I don't have time. No, no.
I need it to happen quickly.
But when it does happen,
I'll, uh I will pay you 10,000
straight away.
Oh, I also want
If you can do it,
I know you're not a magician,
but I'd like my skin to be more supple.
Not so dry.
[sighs, sniffles]
After all, you cost me a
A lot of money.
[sniffles]
[engine accelerating]
[door closes]
[footsteps approaching]
[object clanks]
[upbeat music playing over speakers]
[knocking]
[music fades]
[camera shutter clicks]
[suspenseful music plays]
[camera shutter clicks]
[suspenseful music plays]
[upbeat song playing on TV]
[Rosella] Hey! [chuckles]
Come and see this.
Come and see this. Sit down with me.
[André singing in Serbian on TV]
That's my little brother, André.
He is so talented musically. What a voice.
He is so successful.
Always surrounded by beautiful girls.
His mother is Albanian.
My mama was Serbian.
I came over here after all that shit.
André has always been so good to me.
He found me my husband Sven
so that I could get my papers.
He's handsome, isn't he? [laughs]
[inhales sharply]
Not Sven, my brother. I mean André.
[singing continues]
So, I should warn you,
André doesn't believe
in people with your gift.
I understand.
Four-hundred years ago, they would have
burned you at the stake. [chuckles]
[woman] Rosella?
What is it now?
The shower's not working.
[Rosella] So?
So, can I use the one up here?
You can.
For a modest [sighs]
100 kroner.
But last time it was only 50.
[Rosella] Last time was last time.
[indistinct chatter on TV in Serbian]
Are the conditions good?
The conditions are excellent.
Would you recommend
your girlfriends to come here?
I'd love to have my friends here.
My sister, even my mother, if I could!
That's good.
[Ljiljana] A-ha.
[André] Ljiljana, I am very pleased
to have you here in our office.
- Thank you.
- And thank you.
[in English] Welcome to Copenhagen City.
You want job?
Ah. [laughs]
Who is that girl?
Uh [sighs]
She is just one of André's dolls.
What do you care?
What's she to you?
You should start spreading luck
like you promised.
[sniffles]
Go into the garden.
I want you to help
with the flowers out there.
[bee buzzing]
[buzzing continues]
[pig squeals]
[pig snorts]
[footsteps approaching]
I've cleaned everything,
just like Mama's coming.
[André] Have a rest, sister.
[Rosella] Ah. I'll rest in my grave.
Is she coming down here soon?
[Rosella] Who?
[André] Your cute little visitor.
No.
[in Serbian] She is mine.
Mine.
[André, in English] Okay.
She'd do more good down here.
For you, too.
We'd split it equally, of course.
Sixty for me, forty for you.
I don't get why the kid
is so important to you.
I mean, you've got your niece.
[Rosella scoffs] She thinks I'm crazy.
Nah.
Flora, do you really think
your aunt is mad?
Hey. Hello.
Do you think she's mad?
No, she's fantastic.
Completely sane.
[André] There you go.
She thinks you're sane.
[Rosella, in Serbian] Cut it out.
[André, in English] It's getting
out of hand.
You think she'll make you happy?
[in Serbian] Yes!
[in English] So what's she doing then?
Sitting around at home?
Chilling on the sofa?
While you're working your ass off?
André, she went into the garden.
Go and see how it looks now.
Everything blossomed suddenly.
It's all Everything is in bloom.
See for yourself how it looks.
Hydrangeas, uh, lilies,
uh, irises, uh, rhododendrons,
willows, lavender.
Ah.
There is chrysanthemums,
climbing roses,
roses everywhere, uh, pine trees,
firs, birch and palms. All the perennials.
She sounds like a sound investment.
Bravo.
[André chuckles]
[disconcerting music plays]
[door unlocks, opens]
[women arguing indistinctly in Serbian]
[arguing stops]
[in Serbian] Shut up.
I'm the one who asks questions.
[in English] Who are you?
[Miu] Miu.
[speaking other language]
[in English] What are you doing here, Miu?
[Miu] I'm here to help Rosella.
With what?
[Miu] A bit of everything.
Well, we've all helped her.
We've washed her hair, her legs
[speaking other language]
[in English] She's even shaved her legs.
[scoffs]
[chuckling, speaking other language]
[both snickering]
[speaking Albanian]
[woman 1, in English]
She rubbed her fat thighs.
[chuckles]
[laughing] She did.
Do you know where we are now?
We're in hell.
[enunciating] Hell.
I've washed her pussy.
Her pussy, you hear me?
I wash it every time she gets her period.
That's what we do.
[speaking other language]
- [woman 1] Mmm.
- [speaking other language]
[in English] Go on.
[speaking other language]
[both chuckling]
[whispers in Albanian]
[chuckles]
[laughs]
[in English] Do you understand
what she's saying?
No?
We made porridge.
[both chuckling]
Except we made porridge
with some dead cats.
[chuckles]
And peanuts.
Peanut cat porridge.
- [both laughing]
- That's what we made.
Mmm-hmm.
That woman is not all there. Get it?
- What?
- [woman 3 whispering]
- This one?
- [woman 3] Mmm-hmm.
She heard you bring luck.
Is that true?
Yeah.
[woman 1] And people pay you for that?
Same here.
Get out of here, Miu.
You must be busy, right?
Spreading luck all around?
Go on.
[door creaks]
Miu, I think I am going to
get pregnant tonight.
That's the plan.
[Miu] Are you fertile?
Hmm. I think so. Yes.
One hundred percent.
[chuckles]
[Miu] Okay.
Oh, we have to stop at the butcher's.
And to buy some pork, you know.
Pork is like, really good
for keeping water out of the body, so
I think bananas
Bananas are also good, I think.
But, uh, pork is the best. Yeah.
And, uh, you will be present tonight
in the room.
Tonight.
[Sven thrusting, moaning]
- [Sven moaning, snorting]
- [pigs snorting, squealing]
[moaning continues]
[woman] Psst.
Miu.
Miu.
I heard you've got a phone.
Can I use it?
I only want to call my mama.
Thanks.
[keypad clicking softly]
[phone beeps softly]
Thanks, Miu.
You know,
all the girls here are bitches.
That is just the way they are.
[sighs]
It's a cold world,
but here,
in Rosella's house,
it is hell.
No, I don't know what's up with me lately.
I'm always hungry, always eating non-stop.
And it has to be meat.
Bacon, pork chops, you know. Greasy burek.
I don't know.
[in Serbian] A little nausea.
[in English] Could it be that
I am already pregnant?
Maybe.
[chuckles]
Mmm. [kisses]
You'll get your money soon.
But considering how fast it was,
8,000 is more than enough.
The deal was ten.
And why are you suddenly so calculating?
It wasn't much trouble for you.
It's still ten.
[sighs] All right.
[sucks teeth, sniffles]
Remember, you don't have any papers
and you can't stay here if
That's to say, that without permits,
you don't have any right, you see.
So it's now seven,
and count yourself lucky.
Sven, I'm pregnant.
Eat something.
It's going cold.
[coughs]
[André] How many times have I told you
not to fuck my girls?
Huh?
- [Sven] Mmm-hmm.
- Huh?
Sorry.
You're my sister's husband.
[Sven] I'm sorry.
[objects clattering]
[Sven snorting]
- [Sven squealing]
- [in Serbian] Your mother is a cunt!
[Sven groaning]
[Sven snorting]
- [Sven squealing]
- Your mother's cunt!
[in English] Now he owes me 15,000.
Hey, psst.
I'm pregnant.
- Already?
- [Rosella] Mmm-hmm.
Right. Of course you're pregnant.
There's nothing she can't do, right?
Then she can get me
the 15,000 Sven owes me.
If she cannot,
consider my offer, will you?
I have to go. See you.
[Sven squeals]
[in Serbian] You swine
[soft ethereal music plays]
Do you like spying on people?
Hello?
You can come sit with us.
Did my mama call back?
[Miu] But they beat up Sven.
Who?
[Miu] André.
[chuckles] André?
Then you brought us luck,
after all. [chuckles softly]
My mum sold me.
I was seven.
I thought I'd work here as a model.
But when I crossed the Danish border,
they took my passport. Everything.
They said from then on, I was in debt.
And that I could only pay it off
if I worked here for André.
Otherwise, they would kill my family.
Have you ever thought about running away?
No.
I don't know anyone,
and I don't have papers.
I heard about someone who could
Who could help us with the papers.
She helps people like you and me.
Have you tried looking for her?
[Cimona] No. Are you crazy?
I cannot risk my life over some rumour.
I have to go.
[sighing]
[eerie music playing]
[Rosella] uh, and I bled today.
I don't know if it has anything to do
with her, but I was bleeding.
I don't know what to do.
What should I do with her?
I watched a TV show
where they cooked someone,
like in the Middle Ages or something.
And they were in barrels
and they, uh, they were cooked
until, uh, how do you say
Well, the brain's stewed,
you know, until they, uh, died, you know.
What concerns me is that, you know,
now I will become
I'll become evil, you know?
And you know me. I've never been evil.
I'm scared I'll go crazy, you know?
Why the eyes?
Why does that matter?
Wake up. Hey! [claps]
It's better for you to move downstairs
with the other girls.
Why?
[footsteps approaching]
[women chattering indistinctly]
[in Serbian] I hope you're better
at sucking cock than working miracles.
[laughs]
[Mima, in English] Miu, come here.
I'm gonna help you.
You have everything you need here.
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
Where do you think you're going?
You'll need cream for fungus
in your mouth and pussy
and pills for cystitis,
haemorrhoids and chlamydia.
And most important, lidocaine.
Lidocaine is amnesia for your pussy.
- Come on, that's enough.
- [Mima] Hey, shut it!
I'll kick the shit out of you, you get me?
Who the fuck are you to talk to me?
Goddamn lesbian! And you!
Didn't you come here to bring us luck?
Come on, then, Miu. Make me happy.
Come on. Come on, Miu.
[all women, in Serbian] Come on, Miu,
make me happy!
- [in Serbian] Come on, Miu.
- [in English] Make me happy.
[women speaking indistinctly in Serbian]
[in English] Let's just get out of here.
I don't have any clothes.
[drawer opening]
Thanks.
What about your family?
I'll never see them anyway.
[Miu] When, then?
I'm going to try
to get out of the brothel.
Tonight.
[Miu] Where shall we meet?
There is a lay-by
at the end of the main road.
I'll wait for you there.
Okay.
[whispering] You promise you will come?
[Miu whispering] I promise.
[hopeful music plays]
