    Must see for Humans

    Its a true story. Story is really the most depressing of all the movies i have seen. And its a beautifully made movie.

    See how human beings can become beasts. I thought there is no God in the world where this can happen.

    What should i say more u have to see it urself. I saw the movie 3-4 months back but its still very fresh on my mind.

    Marek (protagnist), age 16, goes to Prague (a big city) where he and so many of his age group from smaller towns end up being prostitutes. People from richer countries of europe and US come there and exploit these poor boys.
