He’s had a bad childhood and all that, and women can get into this cycle of forgiving…’ Joesphine Mackerras has crafted an understated and unadorned debut; striking for its lack of melodrama and unsensationalised representation of sex work. Piponnier, as Alice, is riveting as a woman who has always done what’s expected of her, and is suddenly pushed to do what she never imagined she would have to. Alice’s transformation is revolutionary – defying patriarchy’s suff ocating constraints and raising complex ethical questions without ever moralising on them.
