From the stage of an open-air theatre in the Bois de Boulogne, Heden, Claudia and Samantha, sex workers, tell the story of the Bois as their workplace. Beyond their stories, the landscapes of the Bois welcome the voice-over of a queer narrator who tells stories. Starting from its creation during the Second Empire, then in full colonial expansion, to better return to the present, she gives an understanding of the Bois as a preserve of French high society where sex workers have made a place for themselves for over a century.
