I found the move to be extremely believable and thus gripping and fascinating to the last frame. The corruption in Cambodia is almost unbelievable, the agony of adopting a child in that country are hard to imagine. Paul Pot left a miserable, poor, largely primitive and corrupt society behind well documented in this movie. Little is shown of the country, stressing the fact that people who come there to adopt a child have neither the time nor the inclination to see any of it the aim is to finish the incredible amount of bureaucracy and get out before someone else demands some "service charge" Both the acting as well as the direction is excellent.
