Warning: Spoilers
This is an unsettling movie which stays with you days after you have seen it. I kind of disliked this picture - there is not a single sympathetic character here - and yet the movie has had an impact on me, for which it gets 6 points.

There is a girl, living in a Turkish resort with extended group of her Danish narco friends. She is badly treated and yet she does not escape... and at the end she kills a man who was that one of another world but was sincere enough to hurt her feelings. That killing is like a sacrifice which is a gate for her being fully accommodated by her criminal friends - they help her to get rid of the body. Afterwards, they experience for the first time an idyll on the board of cruising yacht. They are all in Paradise now.

That killing poses a dilemma. Why didn't she kill her abuser but just a man whose words directed to her were entirely understandable? Does she therefore truly belong to evil ones...?

Well, the movie starts and ends with the song that tells a story of a sinner whose only recourse is the Devil: "Sinnerman... where you gonna run to...(...) sinnerman, run to the Devil"
