Girls To Buy (Dziewczyny z Dubaju)

Based on a true story, Emi -- a young, ambitious girl, dreams about life outside her small town. When a tempting madam offers her a chance to escape, she doesn't hesitate and quickly becomes an exclusive escort. Soon enough she climbs the ranks and starts her own VIP escort service -- recruiting Polish celebrities, actors, singers, and models. However, the luxurious and enticing world eventually shows its dark side when some of the girls find themselves casualties of the underground trade, and the glamorous façade of Emi's world starts to crack. It is not long before the workers are exposed to the dark side of the business. This is more about the message of how easily it is to be seduced into a lifestyle of party on luxury yachts and sprawling mansions.
Based on the 2018 novel Girls from Dubai about the real experiences of Eastern European sex workers, this is a cautionary tale. This is made apparent quickly as the movie starts with some disturbing facts about sex workers and trafficking. Things have a tendency to get too lighthearted at times, but more often than not, it does get its message across.
This is seen most in the glamorous set pieces. Girls to Buy almost looks like a music video from the 90s, as the workers party on luxury yachts and sprawling mansions. Director Maria Sadowska shows how appealing wealth and sex are. Easily drawing the audience in shows how easy it is to bring in the escorts.
