Summary

Prowl

Short moments and conversations piece together the portrait of three women's working day. Lidia raises pigeons and lives a mundane existence with a husband and two children. Denisa, the feistier of the three, wants to buy her freeloader boyfriend a new pair of sneakers. Vanesa, the youngest, dreams of finding the perfect guy with green eyes. All three share a workplace as sex-workers under a bridge on the highway connecting Bucharest to the next city. In spite of their rivalry, the three women try to make their time worthwhile by sharing food or spawning stories about their hardships and their loves. Besides the constant competition, they are also pressured by the threat from the local police. Most days are punctuated by visits from the district policemen, who come to collect their 'pocket money'. The men enjoy playing a game of 'cat and mouse' with them and one day, such a visit takes an unexpected turn.
