    Price of Love

    Hermon HAILAY 2015 Ethiopia Fiction color 99min Ethiopian DCP
    The alluring Fere frantically jumps into a taxi after freeing herself from the grip of a middleaged man. Examining Fere in his rearview mirror, cab driver Teddy can guess that she, like thousands of young Ethiopian women — including his own mother — was lured into the dark world of prostitution. Growing up on the street after his mother died, Teddy had fallen into addictions to alcohol and chewing khat, until a priest gave him a second chance by lending him the money to buy a cab license. As Fere and Teddy grow closer to each other, they discover that falling in love can be an emancipation, but they don't realize that it comes with a very high price.
