Andando por Londres ve un cártel de "Se busca azafata" y Maggie, ingenua, entra sin pensarlo en un club erótico. Cuando se entera exactamente de qué se trata, la respetable viuda de clase media se queda sorprendida. Pero Maggie decide aceptar el trabajo porque es un modo rápido de obtener dinero para pagar el tratamiento del pequeño Olly. (Golem Distribución)

A very strong, deeply human film on an emotional level. It is essentially an intimate drama about a woman who decides to make a great personal sacrifice to help her dying grandson and starts working in the erotic industry. At times amusing, at times sad, but never cheaply sentimental or emotionally manipulative. It is very well acted, with appropriate length and a believable screenplay. One of those unassuming but high-quality films that stay in one's memory. Overall impression: 80%.

Irina Palm has aged a bit and I wouldn't even remembered it if I hadn’t seen it on TV. But it is a thoroughly entertaining film and I see no reason not to recommend it to the whole family. It's all there: love, forgiveness, and in the end, family happiness.
