What’s the plot?
I, Daniel Blake actress Hayley Squires stars as regular mum of three Jolene Dollar, who has a very unusual job. Yep, she is one of the top porn stars in the UK. But her life takes a twist when she’s introduced to 19-year-old Amy (Vanity Fair's Siena Kelly). Jolene does her best to protect Amy on set. But unstable Amy, who’s not much older than Jolene’s oldest daughter, takes decisions that start to turn Jolene’s life upside down...
Talking about Jolene’s relationship with Amy, Hayley Squires says: “At first, she thinks: I’m a MILF, I run this game. Then she admits to Rich [her partner] that she’s jealous of this beautiful young woman. It makes her feel less attractive, it’s that sandpaper going at her again: what does my life look like when I’m not in charge and don’t have this attention and money?”
