No Escape...
25 April 2023
It's not been the greatest start you can't deny, abandoned on a rail track left to die, rescued by an aging lass, then as a toddler she does pass, means you grow up under a pious, stifled eye. An escape when you're fourteen is not a dream, when a pimp takes hold and makes you want to scream, as a queue of men descend, it's really hard to comprehend, the abuse, torment and pain you have to fend. Escape, just sends you back into the clutches, a return to slavery, unwanted touches, but there are people who do care, a taste of freedom is a prayer, though authorities are unforgiving judges.

Gerhild Berktold is outstanding as the preyed upon young Sophie in a world of yesteryear that has by no means moved on if your born into unfortunate circumstances in certain parts of the world today.
