Where Eskimos Live (2001)

50-year old Sharkey is trafficking children. He smuggles orphans out from the war-torn Bosnia and sells them to Russian contractors. During one of his trips, he meets Vlado, a war orphan. To his own surprise, Sharkey befriends the boy. Their tiresome and dangerous journey from post-war Bosnia to Poland brings them closer together and changes Sharkey’s life.
