A film maker and Australian writer, Ulrich Seidl, wrote the story of the Import Export movie. He claims that it is through this movie, that he looked “directly in to hell” in a clearer and sharper way. He believes that the current workforce is responsible for contributions to human pain and costs due to globalization. Values like human compassion, take a secondary seat, the fore seat is occupied by something more darker and sinister – cruelty and glee in painful spectacles.

Import Export is quite a depressing movie that takes a look at two lives that are parallel in Ukraine and Austria. Olga (Ekateryna Rak),is the first main lead from Ukraine. She is a single mother and a nurse by profession who is struggling constantly to make ends meet. The pay is lousy and the housing conditions, terrible. She reaches a conclusion one fine day, to leave her child with her mother and move to Vienna in search of a job as a cleaner or a nanny. Your browser may not support display of this image.

Paul, (Paul Hoffman) our second story main lead, belong to the working class in Austria. His body tattoos out number his qualifications. He used to work with a security firm which firms him for getting beaten up by drunken delinquents. He has but one choice now, to go with his womanising, repulsive, unpleasant, step-father, Michael (Michael Thomas) to Ukraine to sell gumball machines, fruit machines etc which are second hand to bars and cafes.

Olga reaches her destination and gets herself a job, as a cleaner cum nanny in a house where the residents treat her with contempt and fire her peremptorily with a day’s notice. She does not have a nursing licence therefore can only get herself a job as a cleaner at a geriatric hospital. She is forbidden to touch the patients. At the hospital she meets the ward-sister who is a spiteful woman. She cannot get enough from bullying Olga and keeps this up constantly. In all this, Olga finds comfort with Erich, a patient who is kind toward her.

The differences between the housing conditions in affluent Austria and desolate Ukraine housing estates are blaring because the film is shot in winter. The movie depicts the sex industry in a manner that is very close to reality. The rich are shown using and exploiting prostitutes for their own entertainment and pleasure. Their treatment toward the sex workers is abusing and humiliating which is what happens in reality and which is what is captured quite vividly. Even Michael is shown doing this to a prostitute that he brings to his hotel room. Your browser may not support display of this image.

Subjects like frustration, indifference toward other’s sufferings, humiliation, poverty and how it forces people to stoop to various levels to better themselves, are dealt with a very realistic touch to it.
