In one of the new Netflix films in August Night always comesThe star of Marvel Vanessa Kirby embodies Lynette, a former almost-brotal sex worker who works in a bread factory to try to keep a leaking roof over the head of her family. When her mother decides to spontaneously blow their deposit of $ 25,000 on a new car, Lynette is at the risk of losing their house completely. In a complete state of panic, she takes off in the night to try to collect the same amount of money by all the necessary means.
