Dogville
Taking refuge among the decent citizens of the small town of Dogville, the lovely Grace learns the truth of the saying that “nice guys finish last”.
The sleepy life of Dogville, a former mining town whose inhabitants are feeling the effects of the Great Depression, is stirred up by the dramatic arrival of a young stranger. The lovely Grace is on the run from gangsters and Tom Hanson (the first person she meets) offers her refuge. Because Tom is a local moral authority his fellow citizens agree to let Grace to stay for a while; in return for harbouring her the young woman offers her services. Although out of initial shyness few take advantage of her offer, when it appears that Grace is wanted by the police the locals become bolder and begin to require more and more work in order to compensate for the risk they are taking. The young woman, who gradually becomes a servant and even a slave when she tries to escape, discovers how relative are the decency and integrity of these God-fearing people. No one, however, suspects the secret that lies behind her escape from the gangsters.
