Her investment consultant informs her that she is in debt:  Since she owns an apartment for which she has to pay mortgage, she has to raise 2000 € in two weeks’ time. She is about to have a nervous breakdown, when a job offer “flies” into her lap: She is offered a job to do telephone sex. At first she is struggling with the task, but after some starting issues she works it out and does the job while running her errands. She gets used to talking dirty on the phone while doing her laundry, cooking etc. One day she is serving a client while runnig in the forest. She believes to be on her own when suddenly she is being attacked by some pervert. She panickes, but manages to fight him off. Shaken, she topples out of the forest and runs into Svetlana, a prostitute who just had a similar encounter with one of her clients. The women become friends instantly and make a pact to change the oldest profession forever…
