Hey, this has been bugging me for a while. I saw this film a while ago, maybe 5 years, and it had been out for at least a few years at that time so it could be as much as 10 years old. It was on HBO I think, or one of it's related channels, so it can't be super-unknown.

Anyway, the plot as I recall centered on a younger woman who lost her job and early in the film ended up stealing cat food, sprinting through the streets with it. Later she resorts to prostitution, and I recall her falling for one of her 'clients'. And I remember it ending with a sunrise-type scene overlooking the ocean or some large body of water.

I'm not 100% sure on the language or country of origin. I think it was Spanish, but it could have been Portuguese or something else. Could have been shot in either Western Europe or South America.

Any ideas?
