Heading South (2005)

Sumptuously shot, this nuanced movie approaches the subject of female sex tourism by focusing on three women and their young Haitian lovers. The characters are believable and sufficiently three-dimensional thanks to the great cast performances, Charlotte Rampling being especially noteworthy. Heading South never overreaches: it does not attempt to preach a message or provide any answers pertaining to its subject matter.
Original title: Vers le sud; Swedish title: Mot södern
