Sascha trabaja hace varios años en “Queens”, uno de los muchos burdeles legales de Berlín. Maria es la chica nueva, independiente, inconformista y queer. Sascha se siente inmediatamente atraída por esa alteridad. Maria, a su vez, está fascinada por la absoluta calma con la que Sascha enfrenta la vida. En un ámbito en el que la feminidad se considera una mercancía, ellas experimentan juntas un único momento en el que la felicidad parece posible. Pero la relación comienza a desmoronarse debido a los miedos a mostrarse mutuamente su verdadero yo y a enfrentar sus propios abismos.
