It's hard to care about others when you're not in control of your own life. Set in today's Hungary, Memphis follows Szilvi, a twenty year-old prostitute who sells her body under the supervision of a gang by a busy country road. Szilvi is a selfish, aggressive creature. On an ordinary morning a quarrel she starts about a pair of cheap earrings ignites a chain reaction of unexpected events; by the end of the day she finds herself in an inconvenient situation: it seems she's the only one who can take responsibility for the small family living on a close-by farm.
