La mami

Cinema has always served to take us into the intimacy of its protagonists, as well as into spaces that are not open to the public. La mami is the story of a bathroom, the place where the cabaret girls get ready for work, exchange the story of their experiences and their lives, and even talk to the women who also come to the club. Laura Herrero Garvín films a real gem, a social, ethical and tremendously human portrait of the world of call girls. Synopsis: This documentary follows the day-to-day life of the women who work as call girls -or ficheras- at the Barba Azul cabaret in Mexico City, and especially Doña Olga, who is called "Mami": a former cabaret performer with more than 45 years in the business, she now takes care of the women's bathroom, where she serves as an indisputable support to the girls, and makes sure the place (where she keeps their belongings) is presentable.
