In 1990, Moldova was the poorest country in Europe and experienced an unprecedented wave of emigration. In this context, women were recruited and integrated into networks of sexual exploitation in Western Europe. While this context is not directly addressed in the film, it is hinted at through the long-distance exchanges between mothers and children. Mothers and wives send money and gifts from the West to their children and husbands, and families exchange videos to share their daily lives. These audiovisual family archives serve as both fragments of happiness and powerlessness and as valuable testimonies of the time and familial bond.
