Helena & Glory

A friendship between two women born in the harsh world of prostitution and cemented in the most difficult moments, where offering help can mean risking one's own life. The two girls couldn't be more different: one, Glory, is an exuberant woman with joy and music in her blood; the other, Helena, is a young Ukrainian woman who is closed and distrustful, marked by the betrayal of a man who broke her heart, leaving her without hope. Glory is a free prostitute who came to Italy to earn money quickly (she has a debt in her country and family to support); Helena is a victim of prostitution racket of which her ex-boyfriend is a part. Glory frequents a supportive community of her compatriots; Helena is alone. Yet the two women have something essential in common: the courage to rebel. Helena, who is the true protagonist of the story, suffers from a deep inner conflict: her abuser and exploiter, Cristian, is also the father of her child. To regain her freedom and her identity as a woman, Helena, helped by Glory, will have to face countless hardships and sufferings. The freedom that Helena seeks is also and above all a mental freedom, which allows her to finally be the master of her own life and future.
