The movie starts with an aggressively sexual first fifteen minutes. In case you haven't read what the movie is about you sure will know now. The start of the movie tries to dominate you with group moaning to the main soundtrack song 'gang bang' (yes really) and unnecessary sexual comments leading us straight into the sex work world of the characters, and if you survive this beginning, the rest of the movie is easy peasy. After we are made sure to know the movie is about sex it calms down to a relatively enjoyable level as we follow the story of a Balkan guy working in Austria and how he gets attached to a sex chat persona called sweet Simone. The movie nicely connects or should I say blurs lines between the persona of Simone and the workers behind the persona, Zeleni who is played well by Toma Medvesek and later on Jana. As foreshadowed in the conversation between Jana and her boss she is not cut out to work a job like this because she is too caring which further complicates the relationship between Simone and the worker Bobo. In the end everything unravels in a cute but unoriginal way - everybody is connected. The movie has tense moments in which I was afraid/hoping that the chat workers behind the Simone persona and Bobo would confront or something dramatic would happen, but the movie doesn't take that predictable path which is good, but on the other hand leaves us with this tension which is undealt with and we are left missing a catharsis or a deeper ending.
Therefore the movie kinda stands with its fellow recent Croatian movies. Its definitely watchable and can be quite enjoyable (apart from the beginning) if you don't have high expectations but is ultimately
forgettable.
