For Dear Life

Samorn is nine years old when her family sells her. An 'auntie' trawling the Northern Thai villages for 'brothel fodder' takes her to Bangkok where she is destined for a short life of servitude and sexual abuse. She is saved from this fate when the kingpin of organised crime, renowned industrialist, Henri Sahliman, sees her while meeting with a business associate. Entranced by the small girl he buys her for an outrageously high price.
