Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
