Our take

Grappling with the painful cycle of sexual exploitation, Gabriela Calvache’s unflinching narrative debut erupts in furor and revenge. Steeped in an atmosphere of unease heightened by the jagged editing, this bracing tale of survival lays bare the violence that engulfs sex workers in Latin America.
