Paying for It is an honest and humorous film about love, identity, and sex work. It follows cartoonist Chester, who, after a breakup with his girlfriend Soon-Yin, begins exploring new forms of intimacy through encounters with sex workers. With a sober yet empathetic approach, the film portrays loneliness, desire, and self-understanding.
Read moreThe film is based on Chester Brown's 2011 autobiographical graphic novel and is directed by Soon-Yin Lee, his then-girlfriend. Her perspective adds a new dimension to the story. Unlike the book, where the sex workers are often anonymized, Lee gives them a stronger voice and a more central role in the narrative.
The result is a warm and witty adaptation that challenges conventional ideas about love and relationships.
