Synopsis
Demetra is a sex worker and enjoys her job. She used to own one of the oldest brothels in Athens. The film draws a portrait of Demetra by observing her for twelve years. Inevitably, the camera chronicles the way Athens is affected by the recent financial crisis. Getting to know Demetra, we are confronted with stereotypes about sex and personal choice. Time and love are the main themes of this film.
