Description

This movie is a biopic of a female pimp (told from her point of view): there are thus many scenes of sexual relationships between prostitutes and their clients. Many of them are abusive (physical and psychological violence) and some even ends up in violent gang rape (off-screen). The women are shown being very distressed by these encounters and being physically and psychologically hurt afterwards, but their sufferings are disregarded by their pimp and other characters. One important subplot is about one of the two female protagonists having been sexually abused by her father (who appears several times in the film) when she was a child. This is discussed throughout, with the other protagonist explaining that she was also sexually abused by her uncle as a child, and several characters discouraging her from filing a complaint (because the rapist is a power figure). At some point, it is mentioned that a man kidnapped a young girl, beat her and raped her before leaving her in the woods.
