Synopsis
A cheap 3 cents opera.
Whore Claudia makes whore Katrin to work for her provider for Claudia's material security and to leave the "shitty work outside". Whore Katrin learns that the price for being independent is high and comes together with physical destruction and disruption. And - so what? Wouldn't it be interesting for everybody, if there haven't been grotesque and any human being scoring circumstances which could create strong characters; "could" - because the weaker women, those that cannot cope with the pandemonium, soon get addicted or perish any other way.
A gun-story taken as vehicle to show strong personalities in extreme situations.
Night, cupidity, force, customers. The winner and the losers of the cruel game.
