Elisa, una joven
uruguaya de 27 años, sueña con abrir una peluquería en Montevideo. Sin
recursos y con dos niños a los que cuidar, y con un carácter rebelde, Elisa
rompe con su familia y con su amante y se queda sin trabajo, todo al mismo
tiempo. Sin otra salida, comienza a trabajar como acompañante, pero pronto se
convierte en prostituta y se ve envuelta en un tráfico internacional de
mujeres y una guerra de clanes.
Turf wars between
Uruguayan hookers and Brazilian drag queens are just one of the highlights of
Tricky Life, a serious but humorous look at women, poverty, and white
slavery. When Elisa (Mariana Santángelo), a single mother of two, is kicked
out of her mother's house in the middle of a rainstorm, she goes to her
current lover, a married, middle-aged store keeper, for help. He finds her an
apartment in Montevideo, where Elisa lives with her best friend Loulou.
The
two women want nothing more than to open their own hair salon, but can't find
the necessary money to do so. Deciding prostitution is the easiest way to go
for financing, they find a respectable brothel to call their workplace.
Things go fairly smoothly until Elisa falls for Placido, an older,
smooth-talking Spaniard who seduces her with his smooth manner and talk of
riches to be had in Barcelona. Abandoning both her children and a good
portion of her common sense, Elisa, with Loulou in tow, follows Placido to
Barcelona, where she soon discovers that Placido is better at making promises
than actually keeping them. Tricky Life was screened at the 2002 Philadelphia
Festival of World Cinema.
