A teenager, who can't wait to turn eighteen and become a porn star. An agent, who knows the industry like the back of his hand but is "not in it for the money". A student, who gives up her political science studies to pursue a career in American adult entertainment. A married couple, that performs, produces and directs hardcore pornographic movies. A caring mother and wife, who is an idol among porn actors and consumers for her extreme sex scenes. And a former punk, who has played with the same band for the last twenty years and is known as the busiest man in the valley.
Who are these people that earn their money having sex for the cameras? What motivates them? Is it just a job or a way of life?
The film depicts the stories of several characters behind this multi-billion industry from Prague to San Fernando Valley. It unveils moments, from glamorous to grotesque, strange to fascinating, with offensive, absurd and sometimes funny moments happening all at once.
Filmed over a period of more than a year and structured like an episodic movie, the stories weave together. Each of them is different -- unadorned and authentic, without glorification or prejudice. Disturbingly close and intimately moving, it delivers deep insight into the protagonists' lives in -- and outside -- of the adult entertainment industry.
9to5 -- Days in Porn is not a voyeuristic 'making of', but a documentary focusing on the people behind this controversial industry.
