Red Light

Esther is a well-known singer from a wealthy background. When her husband goes missing, she reports it to Evi, a police officer who is struggling to balance her work and family life. The investigation leads them to Sylvia, a prostitute who works in her boyfriend’s brothel, where Esther’s husband used to be a customer. While trying to figure out the problems in their own lives, these three women find each other and discover that they are not so different after all. They realize that in order to survive in this underworld of prostitution and human trafficking, they will need each other.
