 Moodysson followed up these two sunny, cheerfully optimistic films with the brutal "Lilya 4-ever" in 2002, included in many American critics' top ten lists the following year.The mainly Russian language film follows a girl living in an unspecified country in the former Soviet Union (filmed in Estonia) as she is abandoned by her mother, drops out of school, is forced into prostitution, and then is kidnapped into sex slavery.Moodysson has said he could not have made the film without his strong Christian beliefs.
