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.
The story Import Export is depressing and takes a look at two lives that are parallel in Ukraine and Austria. Olga (Ekateryna Rak) is a nurse by profession. She is also a single mother who is struggling to make ends meet. The pay is poor and the housing conditions terrible. When she reaches saturation limits, she decides to leave her child with her mother and move to Vienna to look for a job as a cleaner or a nanny.
Our second story lead is Paul, (Paul Hoffman) who belongs to the working class in Austria. His body has more number of tattoos and he has lesser qualifications. He is fired by his security firm for getting beaten up by drunken delinquents. The only choice he has now to survive is to go with his womanising, repulsive, unpleasant, step-father, Michael (Michael Thomas) to Ukraine and sell gumball machines, fruit machines etc, which are second hand, to bars and cafes.
Meanwhile, Olga gets herself a job as a cleaner cum nanny in a house where the children of the house and the housewife treat her with contempt and fire her peremptorily with a day's notice. She does not have a nursing licence therefore becomes a cleaner at a geriatric hospital where she cannot come near the patients or touch them. Here too she is not spared, the ward-sister is spiteful and constantly keeps bullying her by she finds comfort with Erich, a patient who is kind toward her.
The film is shot in winter, therefore differences between of the housing conditions in affluent Austria and desolate Ukraine housing estates are blaring. This is a movie that cannot be watched with children as it depicts the sex industry very close to reality, where the rich use and exploit prostitutes for their own entertainment and pleasure. The crass treatment meted out to the sex workers like treating them as if they had no feelings, abusing and humiliating them constantly is vividly captured. 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.
