Directors Statement
I have always been attracted to understand and better comprehend the lives of people who live marginalized by society, as in this case like prostitutes. In one occasion I have learned from prostitutes who live and work in a really poor neighborhood in downtown of Mexico City, that they are hoping to find real love and they do not allow themselves to feel orgasms with any client just the ones they feel like: "As this is a business we decide to have something special with someone special" Deep down they harbor the desire to find love with someone stable who loves and accepts them as they are. This is how this little short film came about, which is basically made with a lot of love and respect to them.
runtime: 19 min
