It is told in a very subtle way. The camera is respectful, the actors are, too. In this movie, it becomes tangible to us that the world of prostition is a world of delicate balances.

If not, keep it high on your list of movies to rent for couch-watching.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0762110\/\"><abbr title=\"Internet Movie Database\">IMDb<\/abbr> entry<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviemaze.de\/media\/trailer\/3262\/irina-palm.html\" title=\"QuickTime plugin required\">Trailer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trailer for this movie was promising (see below for the link).
