Eastern Exotica
Gorden Aimer
Slovak Republic ï 2006 ï 77mins
Eastern Exotica reflects the exotic
mosaic of the unique yet ordinary
lives of London immigrants in which
all must learn to ëcatch as catch caní.
Newly-arrived Eastern Europeans tell
their stories about escaping narrow
minds at home, sleeping in parks,
finding work, finding a stolen purse
in the bin, finding self-confidence, and
the conflict between capitalist and
communist mentalities.
