WHY WE LOVE IT

Dominican director José María Cabral, the author of the celebrated film “Carpinteros” (selected in Sundance, Valladolid, Miami, Guadalajara, and Seattle), recreates in this energetic drama, with all luxury of details, a real episode of the history of his country that occurred in 1965. After the revolutionary forces overthrew President Juan Bosch, the American army arrived in the country to suppress the rebels and took as a base of operations a brothel located by the sea. The prostitutes who lived and worked there then had to choose between survival, sleeping with the enemy, or dignity, fighting for it from within.

SYNOPSIS

1965, Dominican Republic. At a seaside brothel, the lives of a group of prostitutes take a dramatic turn when freedom fighters stage a revolutionary coup, making them realise they can have a better life and perhaps find love. But everything changes when the US army supresses the revolution and takes the brothel as a military base: the girls will have to face the dilemma of either sleeping with the enemy or protecting their dignity at all costs.
