Rahiman was forced into prostitution by her evil stepfather – but that doesn’t stop a decent policeman from falling in love with her. A social realist masterpiece that was considered a taboo-breaking progressive work in the 1970s for its nuanced portrayal of sex workers. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
