Overview
Dr. Lauren Slaughter, a research fellow at the Arab-Anglo Institute in London is utterly frustrated by her job. To supplement her income, she starts moonlighting at the Jasmine Escort Service, where she has more control over men and money than she does at the office. On one of her 'dates', Lauren meets the politician Lord Bulbeck who is trying to mediate a peace accord between the Arabs and Israelis. Bulbeck falls in love with his escort, and unwittingly, Lauren becomes a pawn in some very dirty politics.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cynical thriller about a woman caught between worlds, using sex work as a pathway to agency, only to discover she's become expendable collateral in a dangerous political game. It's a slow descent into intrigue that trades moral clarity for murky complicity.
