What could be more mundane than going to convenience store after work? There are many such shops in Moscow sleeping areas. These are tiny rooms hidden in the basements of concrete buildings. Almost all workers there are migrants from Central Asia. And some of them are in slavery.
Inspired by real-life criminal cases, Michael Borodin’s blistering feature debut brings to life the shocking cycle of abuse endured by Uzbek migrant workers in Russia. Tracing the roots of systematic exploitation, the film dares to hold both individual perpetrators and a lax legal system culpable.
