CGiii Comment

It was made for €5,000 - and, it sounds like it. When will novice filmmakers realise that sound is important?!?

Obviously, Ms Colagrande wanted to throw everything she deemed controversial at the screen...unfortunately, it all seems rather petulant and childish.

Bin material.

The(ir) Blurb...

Maria has worked as a prostitute since her mother died 15 years ago. Her younger sister Catarina is now a shy 17-year old, devoted to art and music, and the lover of her elder sibling, who allows her to leave the apartment only to attend dance class. But when Catarina meets a man there, another forbidden love blossoms.
