In This Tricky Life (Spanish: En la puta vida) is a 2001 comedy-drama film co-written, co-produced and directed by Beatriz Flores Silva. It was Uruguay's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. The film was awarded the 'Golden Columbus' at the Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival. An international co-production among companies from Uruguay, Belgium, Spain and Cuba, the film was produced by BFS Producciones, Saga Film, Avalon Productions and ICAIC.

It is based on the novel El huevo de la serpiente by journalist María Urruzola, whose investigations exposed an Uruguayan sex trafficking network in 1992.
