Review "A powerful and poignant film" -- Boxoffice.com "A warmhearted, sharp-eyed study of a roller-coaster friendship between two women" --Variety "Engaging and rewarding" --LA Times "Well-crafted and moving" --Village Voice Product Description Caye (Candela Pena) is a middle-class prostitute whose family are unaware of her profession. While many of Gaye's days are spent hanging out with her fellow prostitutes cursing the rapid proliferation of cheaper immigrant prostitutes on the city streets, a chance encounter with Zule (Miceala Nevarez), who hails from the Dominican Republic, soon prompts Caye to re-evaluate her condemnation. A dedicated mother who sells her body in order to send money back to her son back home, Zule is taken to hospital by Caye after being badly beaten and left for dead. Now, as a warm bond begins to develop between the two women whose dreams of financial stability and kind companionship help to ease the pain of familial separation, the resulting discovery of self-determination leads Caye and Zule in a journey of self-discovery that will leave both women changed forever.
