In 1970s London, the lives of a group of sex workers intertwine in a moving yet raw way. The story revolves around a group of women struggling to survive in a world where men are both their clients and their oppressors. Through their eyes, we witness their day-to-day experiences: the challenges of finding clients, complicated relationships with their own families and with each other, and the constant fight to maintain their dignity in a hostile environment.
The protagonist, a young woman looking to escape her troubled reality, becomes the thread that ties this vibrant narrative together. As the plot unfolds, the personal stories of each of the workers are revealed, ranging from those who have made this a temporary career to those who have resigned themselves to their fate. The bond among them becomes essential, offering strength and support as they face the brutality of urban life and the social stigma surrounding them.
With a mix of raw drama and moments of cynicism, the film explores the moral and existential dilemmas of its characters, presenting an authentic portrait of their struggle for freedom and autonomy. The dense atmosphere, the disco music of the era, and the sharp dialogue-filled script create an experience that not only entertains but also invites reflection on the complexities of street life.
