Synopsis: Trish (Margaret Qualley) is an aspiring American journalist who resorts to prostitution to make ends meet as she desperately looks for a way to escape from Nicaragua. She believes her luck is changing when she falls for a charismatic Englishman named Daniel (Joe Alwyn), but his situation turns out to be even more tenuous than hers.

Purr Blur: One morning as Trish returns to her low-rent hostel a cat crosses the street behind her.

Moments later Trish leaves the hotel and runs back up the street. What appears to be the same cat emerges from the bushes right before the scene cuts.

Final Mewsings: Cats are better escape artists than people.
