'I know exactly how much I am worth. I am worth one thousand euros because that is how much Babac paid for me. To put this in easy language, that is like two-and-a-half iPhones.'

A luminous journey exploring the life of Dijana Polancec: professional romantic, eternal optimist and accidental prostitute.
