Trivia
Director Berardo Carboni said that when he cast Matilda de Angelis, she refused to do the nude scenes at first because they made her uncomfortable. Actress Donatella Finocchiaro suggested he talk to de Angelis' American acting coach, Doris Hicks, about changing her mind. So Carboni traveled to Milan to meet her and de Angelis. When he arrived at Hicks' house, he looked in the window and saw de Angelis dancing in her underwear. He rang the bell and Hicks invited him in, where she explained she was working with de Angelis to overcome her nervousness about performing nude. After continuing to dance in her bra and panties while Carboni watched, Hicks encouraged her to take the next step and remove them. But de Angelis was nervous, so Hicks said she would get naked too. Then she told Carboni he would have to do the same. He agreed and they all ended up dancing naked together. After that, he said de Angelis had no problem with being nude in the movie. In fact, she went on to appear nude in several films after that.

Goofs
Matilde is embarrassed during a webcam session, but she turns off only the computer monitor. The webcam would, of course, still be broadcasting her nude body.

Then she goes over to a small mirror on the wall, to look at herself as she cries, but from the angle it's obvious she is looking at the reflection of the camera, and not her own reflection.

Mindblowing

No spoiler review: If the prospects out there are bleak and you are struggling to feed your family and keep the roof over your heads when the mortgage payments are due what does one do?

The central character is an 18 year old with a mother who is about to lose the very home they are living in with her old senile grandmother.

The story focuses on how seemingly are separate families. The three generations of women In their apartment living off the grandmother's pension and that of a wealthy pharmacist and his staff and family.

The mother and daughter exhibit themselves on pornographic chat room websites in order to make some money but are Still failing to make ends meet. The mother's failure to cope, her dependency on her daughter to assist and her willingness to let her degrade herself in order to earn some money make her a pretty reprehensible excuse for a parent.

Then to match that against the life of the pharmacist a wealthy well educated man but someone who is not also so perfect as he hides his creepy secrets from his family.

One suspects that the two sets of lives would in some way meet.

In addition there is a further subplot where the young girl befriends another person presumably male in a virtual reality game two avatars meeting neither knowing what the other looks like but attracted to one another nevertheless. One creates a world in which the young girl can live a place far more promising than the reality in which she lives.

In an act of total desperation the daughter sees that the only way out for them is to sell her body and the loss of her virginity to the highest bidder in a time limited auction.

Whilst the film itself is not pornographic it's content is a disturbing Statement about the brutality of men and objectification of women.

One can only think that this film is going to have a regrettable ending.
