Maria Eugenia Tamés

It focuses on the struggle of seamstresses whose workplaces in Mexico City were affected by the devastating 1985 earthquake and exposes their employers' refusal to pay fair compensation.

The first documentary directed by Maria del Carmen de Lara, together with feminist producer, scriptwriter and director Maria Eugenia Tamés. A direct cinema experience, based on research on the harsh reality of sex workers in Mexico at the time. Testimonies from several women, who have different life paths, but share the violence to which they’re exposed: precariousness, prison, mistreatment, discrimination and dehumanisation.
