I'm in a very bad emotional place right now. But I must recommend a movie.

Lilya 4-ever

An intimate tale of a young Russian woman abandoned by her mother who is forced into prostitution and, ultimately, sex slavery. A bleak, bloodless, nasty, sad tale. Sad beyond description. Yet bitingly human.

But it is something you must watch.

Now if you'd excuse me I'm going to roll up into a ball and cry for a little bit.

where you watched it? Or where we might find it? A link perhaps, if you have it?

While you are rolled up in a ball crying, remember, there are many here who would, and will, cry with you.

And if you find yourself needing someone to talk to, I'm always up for just listening.

and it does not entertain, nor empower me, anothers pain. those that need to watch movies like that will not feel the pain, because it will interrupt their comfortable "pretty woman" illusion. then, how can they use a woman as a thing.

edit to ad, love you gravity. sorry for your pain.
