To Hamogelo tis Try On

The Smile of Try On

Try On Today is 14 years old. When her mother sold her she was only seven. She is one of the approximately 30,000 children under prostitution in Cambodia. If you ask them their name, most of them will answer "Try On", in other words "Try Me…" The camera rambles in the brothels, the karaoke bars and the tourist streets of Phnom-Penh and records the living nightmare of the under-aged victims of prostitution. Behind their words and their faces unravels the decadence, resulting from the wars that occurred in the last 30 years and that finally lead to the disdain of human existence, and unravel also the moral degradation and the hypocrisy of the modern civilized nations.
