Final Major Project Story from

Mike Herrera Castro

The film that I would be creating is from past events that happen to me when I was 18.

It started from one night that I decided to join my father in a game of snooker one night with his friends. It wasn’t that often my father invited me out because he had a habit that he was very secretive of his life outside of our house. Nevertheless I decided to join him. When we arrived at the snooker club my father started his normal night by drinking one coffee with a shot of tequila inside, I knew from that point its going to be a long night.

While he carried on with his friends he gave me before entering the club £5 so I could get a table far from the main snooker room so I started practicing on my skills. 11pm came when I got his attention from across the club; he knew I wanted to leave. After a few more beers and jokes we decided to go. It wasn’t that usual that I had to seat at the back of the car but one of my dads best friends decided to come with us in the car. While driving my dad ask if I wanted to go somewhere quickly before returning home. I wanted to say no but the words “yeah sure” came out before I could time to change my mind. Arriving at a deprive neighborhood I was thinking why has my dad brought me here, we didn’t have a luxury lifestyle but we were in my eyes above these area of living and I didn’t feel comfortable. I had the idea we where going to eat somewhere or going to his friends house. Before entering this huge bold RED door right next to the exit of the building my dad gave me £42, I didn’t understand why because my father was a character that he doesn’t give money for no reason, but £42 was a lot so I didn’t complain.

His friend was the one that knocked, few seconds later a lady responded with a very strong accent “yes”, it was like I was in movie before entering a den of drug cartel and my father handed me money to buy some drugs but after a few seconds the door opened. A mid 30’s revealing woman appeared smiling and greeting my father and his mate. I didn’t know what to do or look I just followed my father into the house. RED velvet, RED slick and RED lighting was all that I

Moving On Production

saw in the house. It didn’t sink into me that I was in a brothel until I saw woman dressed in underwear and very high shoes.

Since entering the underground brothel I have never been in a strip club or a brothel. While sitting down in the sitting room we had to give £1 to enjoy a dance from one of the ladies. There she was dancing in the middle of 18 to 20 men all cramped into a small living room. There I was thinking whose house is this but o that moment that’s when she came into view…a petit but beautiful woman, I couldn’t get my eyes of her, blonde hair small and but with amazing legs that the heels complemented her figure where you can tell she has looked after it.

I was getting asked questions from left right and centre from different woman but I didn’t pay that much attention since she walked into the sitting room. She didn’t witness me at first because her favorite customer was there…unsurprised it was my father. That didn’t stop me to try and get her to talk to me.

A public dance and a private one after, she was there sitting down on where I was for the last hour, my father wasn’t no where and by then it was getting dark I knew this was my chance…”Hi” I said she smiled at me and from then I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t take notice that she only had a bra and knickers on I just wanted to talk but she persisted on taking me for a private dance, I only had my last £20 so I said yes. That walk from the living room to the bedroom was probably the best walk I've ever taken the view was amazing (Bum). The private booths in a brothel were in the bedroom where there’s a space for two or three booths with they’re known curtain and sound system. “Which song you want me to put on?” she asked me, I didn’t heists and told her any one doesn’t really matter. While the music played I was trying to act cool to make sure I didn’t show her this was my first time ever getting a dance from anyone besides my girlfriend that those times we were fighting and on a short break.

We got inside the booth while the song was playing. I don’t remember that much all I do remember I didn’t lose eye contact with her. I do remember she had a strange mark on her pelvises like stained bleach marks you get on a shirt other then that it was beautiful the way she moved. When the song finished she left the

Moving On Production

booth and stick her hand out to wait for my money, I found that strange and didn’t quite understand why she did that but after getting to know her she was just to embarrass to let anyone see her when she was naked. After that dance I stayed with her the whole night talking and laughing.

Around 2am my father told me it was time to leave, I asked her if I could get her number she refused to give it to clients or customers but said I would be here next week same time if you decide to come. I looked at my dad and he winked at me. I left asking for her name and she responded; “Santie”, I smiled and walked away no quite understanding what happened that whole night especially knowing that my father married to my mother took me here and winked at me telling me where going again next week.

That didn’t happen, we didn’t go there for a few weeks, and I didn’t ask my dad why because that would have been awkward and he wouldn’t of liked me to say anything while I was with him in the house so I ignored it and carried on with my life. 4 weeks went by and by then I had my own job and money. Friday came by and I had a date with my girlfriend to go cinema then grab a snack afterwards, my dad arrived eat then went to get ready, I asked him where his going he told me snooker and asked if I wanted to go. I knew it on that moment I had to the chance to go and see Santie. I created an excuse to my girlfriend and left with my father to snooker. We didn’t stay that long and went straight to the brothel.

With the experiences from the last time going there I had a bit more confidence and with my own cash I was a Don, in my head of course. Walking inside again I smiled at everyone like they where relatives of mine while walking through the corridor I was thinking if she’s here I'm going to get her number or better a kiss that I knew she hasn’t given that to no one ever in here. Arriving at the living room she wasn’t here it started to sink in my head that she wasn’t working today but as soon as that happened she walked in and surprisingly walked straight to me with open arms. I was surprise because I didn’t expect to receive that from her I didn’t even expect she remembered who the hell I was but no. That evening wasn’t busy but the head of house was persist in making Santie work so to avoid any conflicts or drama I told her his £20 give me dance.

Moving On Production

This time around It was different the dance because I felt that she was making the effort to be more intermit with me and she didn’t lose contact with me. Afterwards we sat back down together, so many thoughts were running in my head but the one that always stand out till this day is that I knew she’s done this to every guy that has walked into the brothel, it was her job but something inside of me didn’t want to believe this but believe that I was a special someone to her.

During the night we had be talking about everything about the life she had in Brazil, it felt strange but I was thinking this was our first date because regardless where we were, i didn’t pay any attention expect her. The time came where we had to leave, she knew I had to go and rather then leaving me she grabbed me and told the head of the brothel that I asked for one more dance, I laughed and she grabbed me by the hand and took me to the cubical, there we kissed for the first time. I made sure to blank everything in my mind and just think of that moment but I still was thinking; “this isn’t me”. A person like me with goals and ambitions in life shouldn’t be thinking about this girl the way I have been doing, I should be looking for woman that has near the same visions as me and goals also, Nevertheless a magical moment.

We exchanged numbers after and soon I left. After creating a small phone relationship we decided to meet outside of her work place, she kept refusing to meet me until one Sunday she decided to agree with a walk around embankment. When I arrived to see her she took out a camera and took a picture. We went to play snooker that evening not mentioning anything about her job just laughing and socializing.

That night I found out that “Santie” was only her stage her she never wanted to tell me her first name because she didn’t want her clients to know that Vanessa was her real name. When she confessed it to me I didn’t know how to react. I was upset because she lied about her name but the same time happy and thrilled because I was one of the few that knew her real name.

Months went by from seeing each other and being an unofficial couple. I decided one day while with her to ask her about the job she was doing asking her if she would even consider finding something less dramatic and unsociable. The only excuse I got from her was that

Moving On Production

the money was good and that she couldn’t get any other job in the UK. I convinced her at the end to let me help her find a different job.

One day while I was studying I received a frantic phone call from Vanessa that she was in jail and awaiting deportation. I really didn’t know how to react being 18 years old it felt like a huge weight on my shoulders. I left class and decided to see her. After trying several times to contact her, I called the police station where she was held. They told me they already took her to the department of deportation and she was going to leave that same night. They didn’t let me say anything to her nor I didn’t reassure her that I would help or see her. I knew nothing. It was heart breaking, a hopeless individual being imported back to Brazil because all she wanted was to have a better life for her family and herself. I didn’t know what to do without any contacts in Brazil I didn’t know where to turn. Frantic days turned to weeks eventually turned to months. I remember during the time we were getting to know each other she mentioned that she had a social network profile in the Brazilian site “Orkut”. Leads ended to dead ends and all hope was lost, the idea of trying to find her was always there but I eventually moved on and carried perusing my career.

I recently found out that she got married and had a beautiful little girl and is living back in London.
