La contre-allée

A moving short story about a young female, a prostitute, who have to struggle against the concurrence of African hookers working in her neighbourhood. Prostitutes who "work" for lower prices than she does, and hookers who steal customers from her. So, our lead decide to fight. She finds some hoodlums in a bar and hires them to do something, to frighten the "opponents". But the events won't be exactly what she thought they would be...

The portrait of the prostitute is very human, but the actress taken for this character seems not to be the most convincing. But she did her best; the only problem is that she doesn't look like a prostitute. Her performance is OK, flawless. It's only a casting problem.

A good shot feature, anyway.
