SISTERS:

Good morning.

I'm Katarina, a psychologist

from victim support.

We're from the police.

I'm Marko Filipovic, inspector.

This is my colleague,

Jelica Cvetan.

We're here to help you.

We're from the special branch

and know how to protect

girls like you.

The inspectors

need your details.

The doctors just told us

your state of health,

but not your surname.

I'll take you to an undercover

place with only women.

The safe house,

where we'll give you

psychological, legal

and health aid.

This is Maja and this is Olga.

You can ask her for

anything you need.

Welcome.

This is the sitting room.

These are Tanja and Nidia.

- Hi.

This will be your bedroom.

No one knows where you are,

not even the police. Relax.

I don't know what

you are talking about.

I'll be staying here tonight.

If you want to talk,

I'm here for you.

Marija...

Little one!

Puss, puss, puss...

Where are you,

little one? Wait!

Marija, are you all right?

Come on, come here.

Come on, get up, slowly...

I finished a cosmetic course

after secondary school

and started working, and I

wanted to go to university.

Marija, how many of you were

there at that audition?

I don't know.

There were three girls

as well as us.

Us?

You can tell us, sweetie,

don't be frightened.

My sister was there. Please,

don't tell anyone, I beg you.

Don't worry,

we won't tell anyone.

You don't know

what it was like there.

Where?

- In Florence.

In Italy? You were in Italy?

When were you in Italy?

I was...

We really were in Italy.

Marija, how did you get to Italy?

- We really were in Italy.

The doctor says you'd have lost

more blood so far from Belgrade.

We really were in Italy.

- I think she's said enough.

What sort of discotheque

is it where they play

so girls can dance?

It's seasonal work, Grandpa.

We create an atmosphere.

You'll create an atmosphere?

I'll give you atmosphere!

Leave them alone. Surely

I have some say in this house.

If it was a serious agency,

you'd have some sort of contract

I haven't got one in my boutique.

- Then look for another job.

It's not like when you were young.

I can't just get any job I like.

But Grandpa, look,

we've got a contract!

Now they don't need visas,

let them travel.

Krusevac isn't the world.

What's this language here?

- Romanian.

Why? -There are no more

copies in Serbian.

Romania's in the European Union.

- We're going to Italy. Florence.

You don't say?

Romania in the EU?

Since when?

This is a guarantee for a boiler.

Please, Grandpa, let us go!

This is totally worthless.

- Grandpa, please!

Take it easy. Nothing

will come of it. I'm off.

That's enough. Give me

those passports. -Keep off!

Mummy. -What do you mean,

Mummy? -Please!

As soon as he starts snoring,

I'll take the passports.

Can I put this in your suitcase?

- It's old!

No, I can still wear it.

Don't be silly.

We'll buy something

with our first wages in Italy.

We're not going there to

throw our money away.

I'm only packing

what I really need.

Can I put this in your case?

- Don't take that, please.

Marija, don't laugh at me.

- Don't take that, please.

Mummy, what are we going

to do with Grandpa?

Bravo! -Thank you, Mummy!

- What did I tell you?

If Daddy was alive,

he'd be happy.

You have to stand

on your own feet.

You'll learn Italian, won't you?

You'll learn it well.

You're worth the number

of languages you can speak.

Mummy's little treasures,

Mummy's pretty little girls...

Can I help you?

- Thank you.

Good morning!

Thanks.

Quickly, Grandpa's going

to wake up. -Bye-bye!

You know how much

I'd care about that!

Mummy, please, tell him

we'll be back in a month.

All right. Give Mummy a kiss.

- Bye, Mummy.

Bye! Have a good trip!

"It wasn't the monotony

that got to me last night.

It was my heart being

broken into tiny pieces."

The filthy swine!

Facebook is really incredible!

Just for fun I've joined a group

Those of us who have

never traveled...

And then this job came up.

You weren't at the audition?

- Audition?

I met a cool guy. His mate

has a club where I'll dance.

What about you?

- I won't dance.

I'll look after some

kids in Paris.

At least you haven't got a kid.

- So you've got a kid?

I left him with my mother-in-law

in Banja Luka.

When I said I'd send them cash,

they gave me

a real good send-off.

What's your kid called?

- Lazar. -Laza...

We'll stop here for a break.

Let's have your passports.

Come on, wake up!

You two, wait in the van. You're

going with two others to Paris.

You stay here, another

van will take you to Italy.

Bye, girls. -Bye!

- Come on, girls!

Thanks, I could do with a rest.

I'm dying for a coffee.

- Me too.

Here?

- Yes.

Are we going to Florence?

- Yes, we're just taking a break.

Come on, Saska, come on!

Marija, come on,

let's go to supper.

I can't.

What's up? Are you all right?

- Out of my way.

Marija!

- Out of my way! -Katarina!

Give me something, please!

I can't give you anything.

I'm a psychologist. -Get out!

Come on, let's go to the doctor.

- No, get out!

Sit here.

What's this?

Is it possible to get

a coffee in this Italy?

Well then, let's keep warm

while we're waiting.

And now...

You've no idea...

Are we really not going

to get a coffee here?

I'll see what's up.

Tanja, give the girls

some coffee.

Let's introduce ourselves.

I'm your guide for the trip.

I'm Ljubica.

- I'm Tadija.

Marija, pleased to meet you.

- Pleased to meet you.

Saska. -I'm Tadija.

Sit down. -Thank you.

Pleased to meet you, girls.

I'm glad you're well.

I'm going to find you

work in Italy. Seasonal work.

Paid for in cash,

except you enter as tourists.

All right?

You pay a higher percentage.

But if we legalize everything,

your stay,

before you cross the border,

you can do any work

you like in Italy.

You can get a permanent job

through the union.

The pay's brill.

The only thing you

can't do is to vote.

We're free to do any work at all?

- Yes, if we get seggiorno.

Is it legal? -A brill question.

Take it easy. Thank you, Tanja.

We have experienced people

in the embassies.

And good connections.

The contracts get you

work permits.

And then you give

us a little cash.

How much cash?

- Let's say three thousand euros.

Three thousand euros? How?

We haven't got that sort of...

Not yet, but you'll earn

it eventually, isn't that so?

What about the work permits?

Are they real ones? Permanent?

Of course. In ten years you'll be

citizens and be able to vote.

I mean, why not?

Okay.

You'll have to stay here a bit

and wait for the work permits.

And work a little for us.

It's no small thing we're doing

for you, isn't that so?

You can see this is

a smart place, clean,

just right to find your form!

Shall we first phone Mummy?

Not now,

it would spoil everything,

and Grandpa would have a stroke.

Let's just call to say we're over

the border and everything's brill.

That's it.

Look, everything's brill here.

Your rooms are upstairs.
