In Madrid, Cayetana (Candela Peña) is a call girl that lives with her dysfunctional mother, who does not accept the death of her husband three years ago, and send flowers with anonymous cards to herself as if they were sent by an admirer. Caye spends the day with other prostitutes at a beauty salon waiting for phone calls from clients, is saving money for a surgery to increase her breasts with silicon and has a crush on the computer programmer Manuel (Luis Callejo) that does not believe she is a whore. When Caye meets the illegal whore from the Dominican Republic Zulema (Micaela Nevárez), who works in the local red light district, they become close friends, spending their spare time together and making confidences to each other.
"Princesas" is an entertaining movie about prostitution, friendship and love. Candela Peña and Micaela Nevárez have great performances, but the story neither has the glamour and redemption of "Pretty Woman" nor is too dramatic or harsh, except with the positive result of the HIV test of Zulema. The revenge of Zulema and the open conclusion gives a perfect grand-finale for this enjoyable movie. My vote is seven.
