Sex in salons. Salons Get In Trouble Sex-Based Pricing
The young women have escaped difficult economic circumstances in their home countries and are looking to earn money; they feel obligated to send Euros back to their families. Rita tries to make the best of her tough situation, but she is lonely. Milena, too struggles, lying to her best friend — also named Milena — about what she does. Lehrenkrauss zeroes on the humanity of these desperate lives, filming Rita trapped in a caravan, looking forlornly out a window, or Milena rationalizing her decisions. Via Whatsapp, the filmmaker spoke with Salon about her illuminating documentary, which won the Cinematic Vision Award at the recent Camden International Film Festival.
