Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

This film is not quite a docudrama, but it is apparently intended as a slice out of the lives of its two main female protagonists, for the story takes place in their own real-life apartment, and throughout they wear their own clothes and the character names are their own. Further, the screenplay was developed out of discussions with the girls about their lives. In the story, Margo (Margo Kiwan) and Ildi (Ildiko Deim) share an apartment and the habit of enhancing their incomes with a bit of sex-for-hire with the occasional tourist. One of Ildi's old boyfriends has been in prison for some time, contemplating his relationship with her. He knows about her part-time prostitution, and feels betrayed by it. When he is released, he looks her up, and a bad time is had by all.
