When night falls in rural Germany, old VW-caravans decorated with flashy lights line the country roads which lead through potato fields and dark forests. Inside these buses sex workers from Eastern Europe and Africa await their clients who are passing by. The film portraits women who came from far away in search of income and a better life. Until one day, in the ghostly atmosphere, the murder of one of the workers shakes everybody. A film about a microcosm that describes a society at the hardest end of a globalized capitalism. “Lovemobil” is a hybrid documentary using elements of mise en scene.
