Agnieszka (2014)

After serving five years in prison in place of her boyfriend at the time, Agnieszka steals money from her father’s house to make a fresh start in Germany. She promises her younger brother she will bring him over soon and takes revenge on her ex. She arrives in Munich and meets “Madame,” an aging former ballerina who offers her a job as a dominatrix in her escort service after a little “work trial.” She needs no training, because life has taught her to be tough. Agnieszka soon becomes Madame’s best “little crocodile” and something like a foster daughter. But then she meets 16-year-old Manuel, who is impressed by her and attracted to her. At first she keeps him at a distance, but eventually lets herself get involved with him, allowing a fragile friendship to develop. When she tells him that she earns her living by kicking men “in the balls,” he takes her to her clients on his scooter and picks her up afterward. Madame increasingly loses control of her best dominatrix and sabotages their friendship. After a client badly assaults Agnieszka, she brutally pushes Manuel away because she believes she only brings him trouble. Then she confronts her attacker at his home in front of his wife and learns from him that the assault was arranged with “Madame.” Now she sets about putting her relationships in order.
