Trailer
The documentary listens to the different voices of sex workers from Vila Mimosa, the oldest and most famous prostitution haven in Brazil. The spectator is immersed in a valuable collection of stories and images obtained through a pact of trust between the filmmaker and her characters, casting light on what lies hidden — or what we refuse to see — and bringing up highly relevant feminine questions. A film which invites the audience to listen to what a prostitute has to say, and be surprised.
