Chaos

I just saw this great French movie titled Chaos recently. It's powerful, fast-moving, thought-provoking, and a you-go-girl type movie.
Here's the synopsis via IMDB:

Malika, a young prostitute, is badly molested in the street by her pimp in front of Paul and Hélène, a well-off couple, carefully hidden in their car. Against all odds, Hélène leaves her husband and family behind to go to the hospital and take care of Malika, who lies in a coma. The mission Hélène assigned herself: to help Malika have a new life and, above all, to take her out of her molesters' claws...

I definitely recommend seeing it!
