Skip it. The premise of a novelist infiltrating a brothel under the guise of 'research' sounds more like an exploitation fantasy dressed up in literary clothing than genuine drama—and without critical validation or a recognizable cast to anchor it, there's no reason to give it the benefit of the doubt tonight.
Plot
Emma, a French novelist aged 27, decide to go to Berlin and join a brothel to uncover the prostitution world, the subject of her new book. Such as gonzo journalism, Emma become a prostitute and her experience, which was supposed to last a few weeks, will last two years. Was writing her book an excuse for Emma to live a shameful fantasy?
