PRINCESSES (2005)

Cast

Plot

Caye is a middle-class prostitute whose family are unaware of her profession. While many of Caye'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, 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, Zule is taken to hospital by Caye after being badly beaten and left for dead. A warm bond begins to develop between the two women and with it a growing desire for self-determination. Princesses is a thoughtful and moving drama.
