When Fiona was a few months old, her mother abandoned her on the streets of New York. Her suffering piled up through a series of foster families, until as a teenager she became a prostitute. Since then she has lived by her own rules. She has no shame about how she makes a living, uses drugs as if there were no tomorrow, and does not care at all what is legal and what is not. After she shoots police officers trying to arrest the man sitting with her in a diner, she is forced to hide out in a New York ruin, where she meets Anita, an older woman whose face bears the scars of life on the street. The second collaboration between Anna Thomson and Amos Kollek, a year after the success of "Sue" (festivals: Berlin, Deauville, Jerusalem and others), is a provocative film about people on the margins of New York, some of whom play themselves, without manipulative use of the plot. With a natural, unmannered acting style, Kollek and Thomson give the film the psychological depth it needs, and the result, just as with "Sue", will leave no viewer indifferent.
