The young and good-looking artist Martha urgently needs a job. On the Internet she finds an advertisement that the agency “Love Shopping” is looking for young women as a shopping assitance. However during the job interview she finds out that what appears to be a ordinary job has a more sexual character.

The short film “The Red Rose” consists of many small situations and not only deals with the taboo subject of “prostitution”, but also shows the relationship and differences between the two Eastern European women: the somewhat naive artist Martha and the self-confident manager of the escort Agency Angela. The documentary style makes the short film The Red Rose appear up close and realistic.

Many thanks to Janina Akhmetova and Betty Kaplan.
