3 women with a story not heard often.

Warning: Spoilers
This documentary is about 3 women (over 49) who work as prostitutes in Germany. They are accepting at different levels about what they do. They have plans for the future and for the most part live very independent lives. One gets married,(the film does not say if she stays in the same line of work) one becomes a tattoo artist and one opens another bordello at the end of the film. They each have lives outside of their work one is very close to her family which seems to accept her line of work as just another job and is no big deal. This film covers a subject that is not often told in films about this subject matter. I saw this film at the Berlin & Beyond Film Festival in 2010

It's great to see a film where people in this profession are portrayed as just normal everyday people. There is no agenda in this movie at all. Just the story of 3 normal women with normal lives who just happen to be prostitutes. A true, top-quality documentary. I saw this movie at the DOXA Documentary Festival in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Most other films I have seen that cover this subject matter have always portrayed the sex worker as a victim, a drug user, and even the lowest of the low of society. It is important to get the message out that most of the people in this business are doing it because they want to, not because they have to, and this film shows that reality in the clearest of lights. Sex Work is a job. Nothing more, and nothing less. Watch this movie and see some truth about the business.
