Summaries

A young girl is recruited from the bottom rung of society into a ruthless world where power can get you anything.

Call Girl is set in the late 1970s - a time time of women's liberation, sexual revolution, Swedish neutrality, nuclear power and social security. The film takes us on a trip from the very bottom of society, along dark back streets, through glitz and glamour, to the corridors of power which are a labyrinth of secrets. The story is inspired by a Swedish political scandal known as Bordellhärvan which linked underage prostitution with powerful customers believed to come from the highest levels of society.—Sparkleplanet

Stockholm, late 70s. The model utopian society. Political neutrality and atomic power march hand in hand with women's liberation and the sexual revolution.

CALL GIRL tells the story of how young Iris is recruited from the bottom rung of society, into a ruthless world where power can get you anything. CALL GIRL is a political and emotional thriller with nerve and social conscience.—Garagefilm
