The story takes place in 211. Ava (played by Marion Cotillard) and her sister Magda (played by Angela Sarafyan) couldn't resist the temptation of the neon lights in the bustling city and set off from Poland to New York in search of gold. On the way, Magda unfortunately contracted tuberculosis, which was then an incurable disease. As a result, she was isolated by doctors in a hospital on Ellis Island. The two sisters, who were as close as brothers and sisters, thus went their separate ways. After arriving in New York, Ava discovered that everything here was far from as wonderful as she had imagined. Unfortunately, she fell into the hands of the pimp Bruno (played by Joaquin Phoenix) and became a prostitute. Ava's life was filled with pain and humiliation. Being able to see her sister again became the only belief in her heart. By chance, Ava met a magician named Orlando (played by Jeremy Renner). The kind-hearted Orlando made Ava realize that he might be the only stepping stone for her to a new life.[Collapse]
