Happily married Alice’s (Emilie Piponnier) life is turned upside down when she discovers her husband (Martin Swabey) has spent all their money on prostitutes and they are now a year behind on their mortgage. In a last-ditch bid to support herself and her child, Alice becomes a high-end escort, which challenges her perceptions of life and love. At times bitterly funny but always brutally honest, the film traces Alice’s journey to her own kind of freedom
Writer-director Josephine Mackerras’s powerful debut feature won the Grand Jury Award at SXSW, and has recently won the ‘Spirit of The Festival Award’ at the 27th Raindance Film Festival.
