Pigalle in Full Swing
The neighbourhood of Pigalle is one of the landmarks of the French Capital. With its neon lights and glamour shows, it attracts tourists day and night, in search of strong sensations and erotic charm. Its "sex market" gives it a mediocre reputation but enchants seekers of pleasure. However, behind the glowing and glittery scene there is a long and lonely waiting in the daily lives of men and women. In Pigalle there isn't a previously defined itinerary for the "professionals of sex". Some stay for a few months, others for a few years, enough time to find a better job. Some work in Pigalle for the rest of their lives, while others simply chose to live there. Pigalle is an underworld, simultaneously harsh and subtle.
