Claus Drexel's Ladies of the wood takes us on a journey to a symbolic place in Paris: the Bois de Boulogne, which is filmed as if it were a magical forest. Sex workers play the role of fairies that populate the woods, pulling us into their stories and their life paths from times past and present. Dialogues are eloquent, politicised, and uncompromising. A unique, almost radical and undeniably necessary piece.
