"En La Puta Vida"
2001
Directed by Beatriz Flores Silva

Elisa dreams of opening her own hairdressing salon in one of the rich districts of the Uruguayan capital. A bit of a rebel, Elisa decides to move out of her mother's house with her two children. She breaks up with her boss who has infuriated her by not wanting to get married. Her best friend finds her a job in the local brothel and soon she winds up in a downward spiral into prostitution that leads her to Barcelona, Spain. The film's mix of drama, comedy and social commentary have made it a film festival favorite. Uruguay. 100 minutes.
