action
The filmmakers accompany five young women in Florida who earn their living in the porn industry. The film is mainly dedicated to the story of the 19-year-old former cheerleader Tressa. The camera accompanies Tressa from entering the porn industry to her disaffected exit. Tressa's private life is also an issue, the documentary shows her parents as well as her boyfriend and shows that the cliché that porn actresses come from a broken, neglectful environment is not always true. Furthermore, the film shows how much the porn industry has changed due to technical progress and network culture , especially social media .
