What it’s about. The current trend to render prostitution a profession "as any other" is belied by women who were themselves prostitutes.

They are 22, 34 or 48 years old; they live in Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa - They have recently given up prostitution, or are trying to escape it.

Shot in a Cinéma Vérité style, The Fallacy (L'imposture) takes us to the heart of their realities.
