Meet the Fokkens
Ιdentical twins Louise and Martine Fokkens are two jolly septuagenarian Dutch ladies, with half a century of experience at Amsterdam’s Red Light District behind them. Trailblazers in their chosen profession, they managed to break free from their pimps and claim their independence by starting their own brothel and the first unofficial prostitutes trade union.
Ιdentical twins Louise and Martine Fokkens are two jolly septuagenarian Dutch ladies, with half a century of experience at Amsterdam’s Red Light District behind them. Trailblazers in their chosen profession, they managed to break free from their pimps and claim their independence by starting their own brothel and the first unofficial prostitutes trade union. Between buying vibrators and drinking their afternoon tea, servicing customers and cooking dinner, the two sisters share the raunchy secrets of the trade and recall their adventurous past, as well as the history of The Netherlands’ most famous district in the past 50 years. Full of humor and tenderness, "Meet the Fokkens" is an unexpectedly light-hearted take on love for sale ans a disarming portrait of two women who, despite their difficult past and uncertain future, never once lost their self-respect, their lust for life or betrayed the loving bond that has kept them united all these years...
