Import/Export


Two parallel lives are shown in this movie. Olga struggles to support herself and her baby working as a nurse in Ukraine. When internet pornography does not help with the bills she leaves for Austria to work as a maid. Pauli is a young security guard in Austria, who is in debt to everyone and has little going for him. A job installing video game machines finds him in Ukraine. The camera weaves back and forth between their lives in a sort of bored haze. There are some moments of promise, but they are quickly extinguished.
