The article critically reviews the movie “Much Loved”, written and directed by the French-Moroccan filmmaker Nabil Youch and displayed at the 2015 Cannes Movie Festival. The film tells the story of four Moroccan women who work as prostitutes in the city of Marrakesh. This article discusses the dilemmas in contemporary academic debates about prostitution, aiming to show how the construction of the characters on the screenplay fits and also transcends some of the analytical and political perspectives on sex work discussed at social sciences today.
