| Summary |
In his follow-up to the extraordinary and critically acclaimed film, DOG DAYS, Ulrich Seidl once again takes us on a journey of the dark underbelly of human behaviour. IMPORT EXPORT tells two stories which move in diametrically opposed directions. Olga is a young nurse and mother living in the Ukraine who, wanting more from life, seeks an escape from her low-paying job. She finds the answer in the west, in Austria, a land with opportunity and without crippling poverty. Paul is a young Austrian in debt and without work or meaning but he finds opportunity in the east, on a job with his stepfather setting up video gambling machines in the Ukraine. East and West, Ukraine and Austria, two individual fates, two opposite directions. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival.** Nominated for the Grand Prix Asturias for Best Feature at the **Gijon International Film Festival.** *"...continues Seidl's darkly funny and surprisingly poignant fascination with the everyday grind." - Scott Tobias, **The A.V. Club*** |
