High Heels
In a neon-drenched cityscape, High Heels unravels the morally complex collision of two cunning individuals. Dolly, a sharp-witted full-time nurse and part-time sex worker, straddles two contrasting worlds with calculated precision. One night, she arrives at a hotel to fulfill a wealthy doctor’s peculiar fantasy — a request that soon spirals into chaos.
The doctor, a man of prestige and hidden depravity, indulges in a reckless night of gambling with shady companions. When he loses a high-stakes bet, with Dolly as the prize, his refusal to comply sparks a violent altercation. Left bloodied and unconscious, he becomes a pawn in a power play he no longer controls.
Dolly, ever resourceful, steps in to treat his wounds, not out of compassion but as a means to maintain control. As dawn breaks, the doctor awakens to find himself at the mercy of a woman he underestimated. A silent yet charged battle of wits ensues, exposing the hypocrisy of societal facades and the blurred lines of power and morality.
High Heels is a gripping tale of survival, identity, and quiet triumph, culminating in a resolute finale as Dolly walks away, her composure and resilience towering above the wreckage left behind.
