A drama about a woman and who daughters and what happens when her husband, who is away working, finds a girlfriend in another country.
This is not a skatboarding movie. Why the film is titled as it is, since its only a minor plot thread, is beyond me. I say that because everyone coming out of the P&I screening was confused about the title. The truth is the film is really about the mom trying to get money to pay her bills and survive. Her solution is sell her daughter to a rich family... but that really doesn't generate much suspense since this film flounders around a great deal.
While not bad, its not really compelling because the film doesn't fill us in on a lot of details There is a sense of life off the screen but it isn't connected to what we are seeing. Details are not there. the film focuses on one daughter as if she is important, but its more the other daughter and mom who everything happens to. There is no sense of time. Things just are so there is no sense of urgency.
Worse the film doesn't end, it stops with every plot thread still hanging.
This is a head scratcher because it almost kind of is a compelling film.
