Karina is a charismatic sex worker, a feminist, and activist who establishes a union for current and former sex workers in Uruguay. As she tries to find a different line of work, always taking on life’s difficulties with a sense of humor, this observational film follows her fight to prevent future workers from enduring the horrors of child sexual exploitation, trafficking, abuse, stigmatization, and spousal murder. - DOC NYC

"More than a portrait of one woman, this is a beautiful celebration of a whole community, one that dares to fight for a better future against overwhelming odds." - Guardian

"Karina was just 12 years old when she was trafficked into sex work. Now 45, she has no standard education qualifications, but what she has witnessed and experienced, in a society that has been hostile to her ‘kind’, has resulted in a new career path opening up for her. She has established O.T.R.A.S., a union for current and former sex workers, to which her friends and colleagues need little persuading to join" - Sheffield Doc Fest

"Filmmakers Marta García and Sol Infante filmed their subject from a position of constant curiosity and respect, fostering a rapport that uses every second of the film to remind us that a feminist combination of forms of knowledge leads to collective constructs that are as original as they are valuable.” - Semanario Brecha
