Transe

Sonia, a young Russian woman, decides to leave friends and family in St Petersburg and seek a better future in the west. She is about to experience the illusion of a new life and a hell for those whose life has nothing more to offer. Sonia’s optimism slowly but surely turns into a feeling of despair and hopelessness. Later in the film, she falls into the hands of a rich Italian. The film now changes from an intimidating, realistic story into a grim fairytale – a nightmare that looks beautiful, but in which you cannot live.
