María Llopis, famous person in the Spanish PostPorn scene, reflects in an article: "pornography is a reflection of our sexed society. All our miseries are reflected in it. We live in a world where violence against women is assumed as part of our day to day." and concludes: ".. I do not worry that mainstream pornography is sexist. It seems logical. We have the porn we deserve. " In recent years the porn industry in Spain has changed a lot. There are so many actresses that the majority fails to live only from porn shoots; they have to do webcams, bachelor parties or even prostitution. More and more women dare to try porn everyday.This happens because of several reasons, the economic crisis that is suffering a major part of the population or the false idea of life full of fame and glamor that surrounds the concept of a porn star. This project covers personal and profesional life of Spanish porn actress Marta La Croft, from her first steps in the porn industry when she just turned 23. Her boyfriend, Ukrainian bodybuilder does not like Marta’s work, but he accepts it as part of her life but it’s still hard for him to take it calmly. Marta is not a victim of circumstances: she does not have small children to feed and doesn’t come from extreme poverty; her work - being a porn actress - is something she chose freely. By now she has plans in porn that excites her. She also knows that someday she will quit. And the world will not end for her, "there are many things to do and to discover," she tells smiling.
