Zoom - It′s Always About Getting Closer

The young Romanian Wanda works as a callgirl. She has no idea that her retiring neighbour Waller has his eye on her the whole time. She also doesn′t know that Waller is blackmailing her clients with his videotapes, or that this is the source of the money she finds in her mailbox.

 

Waller and Wanda get to know each other by chance one day in the lobby of their house. Waller tries to find out Wanda′s secret, but she refuses to answer and tries to shake him off. Wanda has enough problems. She is being blackmailed by her husband, who is keeping their son hostage. It is for him she goes on the streets.
When Waller discovers her fate, he sees himself as her guardian angel and promises her a new, better life. Against her will, he takes her out of the milieu and abducts her onto one last "tour".
Together, they visit her clients for a second time and blackmail them again. But this time the price is higher, because for a better, new life Waller and Wanda need a lot of money ...
