Elisa's dreams of a better life in Spain land her in the nefarious world of international prostitution. Finding herself trapped in an underground economy driven by crooked cops and international sex traffickers, Elisa struggles to regain her freedom and return to her children in Uruguay. From showdowns with sleazy pimps to battles with Brazilian transvestites, writer/director Beatriz Flores Silva uses Almodovaresque touches to provide vivid glimpses of the perils facing women today. Based on an actual sex trade scandal that rocked Uruguay in 1992, this fascinating film is filled with many humorous and uplifting moments..

For mature audiences.
