Who is Irina Palm? She’s a woman in her early sixties. She really loves her grand-son, who is ill, and the only possibility for him to get well is in Australia; but the family can’t afford the trip and the clinical care. Consequently, she decides to look for a job to help them.
Finally, she gets the money to pay the expenses.
Her son and her daughter- in -law are really amazed. They would like to know how she has got the money. Her friends are also interested in her job. But she has decided not to say anything, because she imagines a bad reaction from everybody.
What is the job? She works in an erotic club, masturbating men. Indeed. When people know it, they react as she had imagined. First, her son doesn't want the money, her friends decide not to speak to her, and neighbours do not dare look at her face if they find her in the street or in the supermarket.
I’m not going to explain more, because, Irina Palm is a film, and I don’t want to spoil it.
My question is: Why does society hide some economic activities related to sex? What’s wrong about it? Irina Palm, the main character in the film, does her work honestly, and she earns the money to save her grand son because, her love for him is above everything. But society, the same society who uses this kind of services, it condemns women, and also men, although less, who do these jobs. I think this is hypocrisy.
What do you think?
One advice: Go to see the film, and don’t forget to pat attention to the clothes she wears when she is working. The film offers the possibility to practise English, as well.

What a contraversial topic. I hope the reaction of everybody didn't was like this in real life...here the "the end justifies the means".
There is something which is called :dignity.Things which are relaconated with this kind of thing should be banned,because this is a very strong thing and the society should learn to eliminate all realacionated with prostitution
That's an injustice. One more injustice in our worn-out world! When are we going to learn? The film looks really interesting. Is it still on?

-First, her son DOESN'T (WATCH!!! THIS MISTAKE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN 4TH!) want the money, her friends decide NOT TO speak to her, and HER neighbours DO NOT DARE LOOK AT HER FACE if they find her in the street or in the supermarket.
-But society, the same society who uses this kind of services, (0) condemns women,
-REMEMBER!!! ADVICE IS UNCOUNTABLE!!! YOU CAN SAY:
MY ADVICE IS... (AS A NOUN)
I ADVICE YOU TO GO AND…(AS A VERB)
A PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD BE...
BUT NEVER "One advice".
I think the same as butterfly. Did her son finally accept the money? Or he did he prefer to loose a son?
Julio Cesar has said something about dignity and eliminating prostitution, I think the best will be avoiding the explotation of women.
