Streetwalker
“A movie that presents us without concessions a problem that everyone is silent about but that everyone knows!”
In Mexico City, two sisters live radically different lives: Maria, who—along with her supportive group of fellow sex workers—must deal with unscrupulous, abusive clients and her exploitative pimp, Rudy, and Elena, a society woman trapped in a marriage of convenience, who falls prey to Rudy’s fortune-seeking seduction.
