JOY tells the story of a young woman from Nigeria who is caught in the vicious circle of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. She works as a prostitute in Vienna to buy her freedom from her pimp, the Madame, to support her family in Nigeria and to secure a future for her young daughter. Freedom seems within Joy's grasp when the Madame hands her control of Precious, a young girl from Nigeria who is not yet ready to resign herself to her fate. "Cleverly, this film turns the tables. Here, the Austrians suddenly seem very exotic." DOMINIK KAMALZADEH, THE STANDARD
