Lilja 4-Ever Blu-ray

A nameless place in Eastern Europe: 16-year-old Lilja dreams of getting out - out of the post-Soviet poverty and desolation. Her goal: America. But the dream is shattered: her mother and her new lover run off without her, and her nasty aunt ensures that Lilja soon finds herself alone in a dilapidated prefab building. Her only companion in enduring this lack of prospects is the clingy Volodja, an eleven-year-old drifter. The lack of the money promised by her mother drives Lilja into prostitution. But then a glimmer of hope opens up: the older Andrej promises a new life in Sweden... With Lilja 4-Ever, Lukas Moodysson - who previously made a name for himself with his coming-of-age debut Fucking Åmål and the upbeat Together! It was a painful and unbearable film that thrilled audiences and critics alike, but which is nevertheless characterized by great authenticity and immediacy. But Lilja 4-Ever is more than a social drama, it is a radical, sometimes dreamlike parable that repeatedly contrasts the misery and desolation with fantastic elements.
