N2  - Her name is Paula. As day breaks over the waking city, she's already at work – 
looking for clients as she walks a stretch of sidewalk in front of the corner 
grocery store. She likes handing out dog treats and joining in kids’ games. 
The grocer's son sees Paula as a reassuring mother figure, and he feels 
emptiness whenever she is away.

Inspired by a real-life news item, director Dominic Etienne Simard 
paints a pulsating portrait of a mixed-use, working-class neighbourhood where 
young families cross paths with prostitutes, their interactions leaving 
unpredictable ripples in the motley fabric of urban life.
