Marleen Gorris’s follow-up to her landmark debut A QUESTION OF SILENCE continues her uncompromising investigation into what it means to exist as a woman in an often-brutal patriarchal world. In an Amsterdam brothel, two sex workers rebel against their lot in life. Meanwhile, one of their customers, a serial killer, kidnaps a housewife. The way these two parallel stories unfold offers harrowing insight into sexual power and gendered violence.
