House of love

This film explores the lives of sex-workers in the small Namibian harbor of Walvis Bay. The women are dependent for the business on the brief visits of foreign shipping trawlers. They give insights into the choices they have made and why they have made them. Their conflicts center around notions of love, sex, sin, and redemption, while the threat of HIV/AIDS exists only in the background.

"With the sea on one side and desert on the other, the otherwise isolated town of Walvis Bay, Namibia receives regular visits from foreign shipping. The prostitutes there talk about why they took up that work and the daily physical risks they take, with the knowledge that if they contract HIV, they can look for no assistance."
