Romania 1996, six years since communism regime has ended. Yet people are still living deplorable lives. Passports are scarce, travel and the western lives seen in magazines and on TV, no more than fantasy. Dora is the dramatic story of a young girl from a village deep in the Romanian countryside who decides to escape. Smuggled in the back of a van, Dora, a university graduate, travels 1900 km to London, where her life is about to change beyond belief, as she embarks on a life of crime.—Delia Antal
