This film is part of our 'All About the Soundtrack' program.

After her mother abandons her for a life in the United States, 16 year old Lilya is forced to find her own way in an unnamed desolate city in the former Soviet Union. Stuffed into a tiny apartment still cluttered with a recently deceased man’s possessions, she sniffs glue with friends and blows off school. At first she attempts to avoid the only available means of income for herself, but eventually sex work becomes a viable option. When she meets the charming Andrei, she is enticed by his promise of a better life in Sweden. Following there, she is thrown into a life she has no control over.
