Tess is based on a novel by Tracey Farren called Whiplash. It tells the harrowing story of sassy twenty-year-old prostitute who sells her body on Cape Town's streets. She survives by popping painkillers by the bunch and through her wry humour. But her life turns upside down when she falls pregnant. Though Tess tries to run, her past torments her. She begins to question her own sanity. Tess fights back, fighting her demons, searching for the truth. (Cinemax)

I would like to see this nice white hooker strolling through the Republic of South Africa. The local black guys wouldn’t give her leave her alone on the road for even 5 minutes and she would immediately end up violated in a ditch near a baobab. The absurdity of the story was made up for by an interesting theme, which fortunately kept me in suspense until the end.
