Far from women constrained by networks to prostitute herself, Marie has chosen to be sex worker.She has carried out this activity in Strasbourg for twenty years without hiding from her relatives.Independent, it belongs to a collective to obtain the recognition of a status and the end of the penalty of the customers of which they suffer.Its regulars and routines allow him to complete his end of the month.

When his son Adrien, in full teenage drift, is sent back from his high school where he was preparing a professional baccalaureate, Marie sees only one option so that he does not pick up schooling: entry into a prestigious cooking school.But if Adrien succeeds in the entrance exam, she will have to pay very high registration fees.However, African prostitutes, obliged by pimps to sell their bodies in sordid conditions at broken prices, deprive Marie of part of her customers.

Laure Calamy brings depth to this portrait of a woman

« Une femme du monde », prostituée et mère courage

The energy of Laure Calamy, César of the best actress for her role in the charming Antoinette in the Cévennes, by Caroline Vignal, carries a woman of the world, to whom there is nevertheless a point of view.If it shows a few passes with raw, the film is not a column of the daily prostitution.He focuses more on Marie's quest for money and her consequences.Faced with the refusal of a loan by her banker and her parents, she must seek more remunerative ways to exercise her profession and give up the rule of independence she had given herself.

The story seems to forget Adrien, a rebellious and mutical adolescent, while it is for him that his mother struggles.Their harsh and conflictual relationship is not sufficiently excavated and what he feels in the face of his mother's profession remains too much in the shadows.Remains the interpretation of Laure Calamy, in this character of mother atypical courage.She takes up the role that Cécile Ducrocq had entrusted her in a short film, the counter-alley, inspired by the meeting of the director with a prostitute.Impressive natural, the actress brings depth to this portrait of a woman.
