Saturday, June 9, at Cinema Arta, at 13:00, screening in the presence of directors Gabrielle Provaas and Rob Schröder.

Louise and Martine Fokkens are identical twins. For over 40 years they were working as prostitutes. They freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. Now they bid their farewells. A portrait of these remarkable women, as well as a history of the Red Light District in Amsterdam over the past fifty years.
