With exceptional visual flair, Michael Glawogger (a guest at DOCVILLE in 2006 when he presented Workingman’s Death) manages to bring warmth and color into the ambivalent lives of prostitutes in Thailand, Bangladesh and Mexico. Those looking for cheap thrills will be disappointed: Glawogger takes a very human, un-erotic approach to the complex matter of prostitution. He steers clear of clichés and takes an open-minded look at the oldest profession in the world. He even gauges the intentions of paying customers. A soundtrack featuring PJ Harvey and CocoRosie complements the atmospheric portrait.
