The adult film industry is often portrayed as taking advantage of naive models who are living a desperate life and usually on drugs. This short film by director Matt Lambert shows a very different life. This film shows that some people are happy, healthy, and living a life they want. The film follows five people who work together, for an evening of their own making. They laugh, enjoy themselves, and enjoy each other while conducting themselves as they choose, and not allowing society to dictate how they should conduct their lives.
