Hanna leaves her family and her girlfriend behind to go to San Francisco. She dreams of exploring her sexuality way beyond what is possible in her small Swedish hometown. At a party in San Francisco she gets to know two experienced sex workers: Chloe, a professional domina with dreams of a better life and Cyd, a playful and shameless escort, selling sex to gay men.
Filmed over the course of a decade, director Tove Pills offers a unique and compelling portrait of queer and trans life in San Francisco in the 2010s. The result is an intimate documentary in which Pills’ ever-present camera takes viewers on an emotional journey that sensitively and respectfully challenges conventional wisdom about sex and sex work.
