The Tiger Factory (2010)
Ping Ping is 19 and wants to go to Japan to work in a car parts company. She's under the guardianship of her aunt, Madame Tien, who shuffles her between two jobs - working in a pig farm, and cleaning dishes in a rundown restaurant. Tien is also involved in a 'baby factory' scheme, pairing young women with migrant workers and then selling the babies for money. Both survive with each other in a love-hate symbiotic manner, until a truth about her aunt is revealed to Ping Ping.

Excellent but underrated film
Excellent adaptation.
There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
