Convenience Store

A supermarket in a Moscow suburb is the heart of darkness for the Uzbek “employees” who work there around the clock and are threatened, abused, and imprisoned. Mukhabbat, like the rest of the immigrants at the store, is a young woman forced to work without getting paid and to endure mental and physical abuse, until the day she overcomes her fear and takes her fate into her own hands... Based on true events and active legal cases of immigrants in Russia, the film captures the terrible aspects of modern slavery in a visceral blend of realism, documentary-style elements, and grand-scale cinema.
