CHOIR GIRL is a gritty drama about a lonely photographer, Eugene, who becomes obsessed with an underage prostitute, Josephine, in his rundown neighbourhood. She has escaped a worn-torn country only to be trapped in the illegal sex trade by corruption and a powerful underworld criminal named Daddy. Yet for Eugene, Josephine represents a symbol of purity in the darkness - when he takes her photograph there is something captivating about her and she quickly becomes his muse.

Chris is caught in a downward spiral, lost in a world of filth and porn, unable to connect. But his habits, his loneliness and denial, is slowly destroying him, one woman at a time.

The Searchers' classic hit "Needles and Pins" accompanies images of couples gazing lovingly into each others' eyes. Love, naturally, is transcendent.
