Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Christian Molina and star Belén Fabra also worked together on the movie Estació de l'oblit (2009).
- GoofsIn the beginning Valerie says that she lost her virginity in 1993 and some minutes later she says "since that passed 14 years"; the engraving on her grandmother's grave says: "Marie Tasso 1934-2006", implying there are only 13 years between 1993 and 2006.
- Quotes
Marie Tasso - Abuela de Valére: A woman without a trade has two options: marriage or prostitution. That's about the same.
- Crazy creditsSoon after the ending credits start, there is an extra scene of Valerie offering her services to a stranger for free.

Featured review
It's acted well and filmed beautifully. It's a classy production. But I agree with another reviewer here, this belongs on Lifetime as a B movie.
Too many holes in the story telling.
Too many holes in the story telling where the viewer has to think, "Well, maybe this? Maybe that? Maybe those things happened off screen?" Not good directing or editing.
(Some of these complaints are cliches that could be beneficial for younger viewers who haven't seen many movies about this topic.
No problem with the message of female impowerment and sexual freedom. But the story telling has too many holes.
Too many holes in the story telling.
- The first time she calls her bipolar husband a pathological liar, he hadn't lied in the movie yet.
- He threatens her, but no threat is ever shown on screen. So, she decides to threaten suicide?
- The last time we see her with her gay boss, he's telling her to take a vacation. Next thing we see and hear is she lost her job? And she has to turn to prostitution?
Too many holes in the story telling where the viewer has to think, "Well, maybe this? Maybe that? Maybe those things happened off screen?" Not good directing or editing.

- She makes a common mistake lots of young women make. Falls in love and marries a guy who showers her in money and romance too quickly before really getting to know him.
- She falls in love with her prostitution clients.)
