The Paradise Suite is a 2015 Dutch drama film written and directed by Joost van Ginkel.

Plot

The film follows a number of foreigners who find themselves in Amsterdam: a man from Burkina Faso named Yaya who loses his job and gets in financial trouble, three girls from Bulgaria who are told they will be models for a photoshoot but end up in prostitution, a musical conductor from Sweden named Stig whose son Lukas goes missing, a war criminal from Serbia named Ivica who now runs a brothel in the red light district, and a woman from Bosnia named Seka who recognises Ivica from her past.
