After losing her job as a nurse, Sarah now finds herself lost on a dark and dangerous path as her efforts to pay for her daughter's operation by any means necessary begin to backfire. Sarah, the once promising ballerina in her youth, becomes entangled with a muder plot at an underground brothel as things start to spiral out of her control. I saw this film some time ago at a film festival and was fortunate enough to also meet the star of the short, Phyllis Spielman. She was an amazingly interesting lady who has lived a highly unusual life for an actress. She was a career military lady, mother and wife who decided to re-invent herself after her divorce. And, in "Sirens" she is amazing–both as an actress and her ability to carry off the role of a working mother who is a pole dancer…and she's NOT a young woman (though she sure looks like one).<br/><br/>The film is the story of a woman who is trying so hard to care for her disabled daughter–even if that means demeaning herself by dancing. However, SOMETHING occurs that makes her wake up–realizing her life is in danger and she must act! <br/><br/>Overall, a super-tense and extremely well made picture that might be great as a full-length picture. Kudos for this one.
