berthirsch this is a well paced drama about an important subject-white sex slaves. 2 Uruguayan girls follow a pimp to Barcelona at which point they are literally kidnapped and forced into prostitution. the movie is well written , despite the subject matter there is some good humor. the characters are well developed. Mariana Santangelo portrays the lead as one of the most adorable and alluring roles an actress has portrayed on film. This is a must see. A hidden gem. The pimp, played by Silvestre, an Argentine TV actor is also excellent and pulls you in a quiet forceful manner. The chemistry between these 2 leads is easy to see.Searching the IMD data base most of the creators in this film have not done much since then. This is unfortunate and goes to show how difficult it is to recreate the magic on film.

Caramelo M This story talks about the social issue, it's kinda the Collective Memory in Spain and some relative countries. The scene in Barcelona is gloomy, but the main characters are live with hope, the positive attitude is part of Latin people own.this film doesn't deep narrate why Elisa leave her mum(it could means she is not so fancy 'family' but more interested in being with man), and seems she doesn't really care about her sons, even tho she always call back to talk with them, but when they first separated, Elisa and her sons didn't have strong emotion.This film seems wanna give audience a happy and hopefully ending, so that arrange the police man to make this film more romance, and Elisa seems accept love easily, she probably wants love more than family, all the relation is not so touchable, so I give 6 out of 10.

jotix100 This Uruguayan film is surprisingly good. Not being acquainted with either the director, or the film, as I don't think it has been shown locally, I decided to take a look. It certainly was a welcome surprise what director Beatriz Flores Silva has accomplished. The story centers around Elisa, a young single mother, who must make ends meet by going into the world's oldest profession. Elisa, like other young women, I'm sure, is lured into taking a big leap into the riches that Placido suggests are not to be believed doing that kind of work in Barcelona. Elisa gets more of what she bargained for. She is beaten by Placido and the reality is that she is part of a lucrative business not to be realized by her, but her pimps and the mafia that controls it. It seems incredible that someone as intelligent as Elisa is, falls into this world where women are in danger by working the mean streets in the old quarter of the city.The film owes a great deal to Mariana Santangelo, a young actress who is a natural. She is an excellent actress who knows the character she is portraying. Andrea Fantoni, as her best friend, Lulu, also is very effective in the film. Silvestre as Placido, the suave pimp, plays his part well. Finally, Jose Linuesa, is also good as Marcelo, who is the only one that helps Elisa escape her horrible experience in Spain.

MariaL Great movie from a country with little cinematic history. Interesting story, very well told. The actors are quite believable and grab your attention from start to finish. Highly recommendable viewing, both for Uruguayans and for other Latin Americans or anyone who enjoys good movies.
