Film Synopsis

This anthology film consists of six short sketches which depict prostitution through the ages, beginning in prehistoric times.  After a visit to the Roman era, the French Revolution and the Belle Époque, we arrive in the year 2000...  Prostitution may be the oldest profession in the world, but attitudes towards it have certainly changed over the years...
