Fra Thy til Thailand

This unique documentary is the sequel to "Love on Delivery": the former prostitute Sommai once left Thailand for Thy, a small town in North Jutland, and married a Danish man. Now she is back in her homeland to support young Thai women on their way to Denmark. For example Kae, who is already married in Thy but must wait for a renewal of her entrance visa. And Mong, who must convince her ex-husband from Thailand to allow her to take their son to Denmark with her. Or the young woman Saeng, who works in the sex bars of Pattaya – in the hope of finding a marriage-minded young European. Director Janus Metz has successfully gained the trust of a group of Thai women and their husbands to let him accompany them discreetly but empathetically with a camera over the course of several years. The film depicts the complex relationships in a globalized world in calm, beautiful images.
