[REL] Het zusje van Katia (2008)

Post by 241 »   0 likes

plot:
An intimate portrait of a 13-year old girl, living Amsterdam,
who loses her Russian mother and older sister Katia to the world of prostitution.

Some people find her removed from reality. Her older sister Katia even thinks she's stupid.
But this is only a first impression, perhaps the result of her subconscious desire to remain a child.
Or perhaps, her strange behavior is a defense against the uninspiring life she leads,
a cruel existence shared with her sister and mother. Having emigrated from Russia some years
previously, her mother tries to build up a life in Amsterdam and is drawn into the world of prostitution.
Slowly, oldest daughter Katia follows her mother into the same obscure world.
Our heroine, Katia's Sister, adores her older beautiful sister Katia,
but she is getting more and more lonely, having nobody to share her feelings with.
Although her surroundings are harsh, she does not judge.
She continues to see the world in an unconditional and even loving manner.
Despite her non-judgmental attitude, she becomes increasingly isolated,
creating her own protective universe in which she sacrifices a lot, even her own name,
referring to herself only as "Katia's Sister."

I'm assuming you're upset because you've had no response to your post. I've lost count of the number of releases I've made that have had no response but still I see people downloading from me. We have in excess of 5500 members with only a handful posting. Rest assured there will be members appreciative of your post even though they choose to remain silent. Don't despair & please don't assume anyone is being disrespectful.

Well, if you hadn't deleted the stuff you posted you would have received a better answer to your question. Now I don't know what you posted, so cannot comment on whether or not there was something you could have done to make the post more interesting. :bigups

I'm sorry, but from time to time new posts get overlooked.

Actually this might be a good movie that can fit here nicely. Only found some dutch websites on this movie. The movie has recently been released on dvd it seems, som might be possible to track down.

Google Translate:
An intimate portrait of a 13-year-old girl in Amsterdam-Noord that her Russian mother and older sister Katia "losing" the harsh world of prostitution. Sister remain behind in an apartment at the IJ-square. Through her unconditional love and open-mindedness they keep their heads above water in the grim world of porn, drugs and neon signs.

Thanks for restoring your original post, 241!

"Forthcoming Releases" gets less response than Releases (or even Requests). Not surprising, there's nothing to start downloading, not even anything to start looking for since it's not available yet. Hopefully people add it to their watch list and it shows up soon.

Thanks ptg & also 241 although I'm guessing you've left in disgust................
There are dvdr's on Usenet with nfo's indicating English subs. If no one else obliges I'll grab & rip the subs, then possibly ptg can verify they're in sync with this release.

Thanks, 241 and ptg!! :thumbsup

Here's one of those odd instances where I ABSOLUTELY knew for a fact that THIS movie had been posted here before...:think ....and I was RIGHT!!! :thumbsup

lol! The only problem is that it was posted by Rich in an area for Admin discussion, and never posted in our public forums! ;)

(Which leaves me to wonder that maybe OTHER times I've experienced deja vu over a particular post, maybe that could be the same situation... It's just good to know I'm not TOTALLY crazy.. :eyecrazy )

This is a 'Netherlands' [REL], btw..
