A film by Kim Ki-duk
Yeo-jin and Jae-yeong are two teenage girls who are trying to earn money for a trip to Europe. To reach this end, Jae-yeong is prostituting herself while Yeo-jin acts as her pimp, setting her up with the clients and staying on guard for the police.
As with many other films by Kim Ki-duk,(Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring, 2003) Samaritan Girl wasn't a box office success in its home country, but was better received overseas. In the film's first large scale showing it won the Silver Bear, the second place award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2004 After this, it became a sought after film for other international film festivals.
