During research for her Master's thesis about prostitution, Amalie Samsøe meets the charismatic luxury prostitute Victoria, who studies medicine and fights for free prostitution. Aclose, but also tense relationship develops between the two women, which blurs the boundaries between fine principles and personal engagement.

After a gruesome murder in the prostitution environment, Amalie and Victoria take on the task of smuggling a Nigerian woman down through Europe. The journey takes an unexpected turn and all of a sudden they find themselves in the underworld of prostitution where voodoo magic, drug dealing and perverted customers with unlimited access to crematorium ovens are part of everyday life.

'The labyrinth of lust' is a story about the inhuman, but also positive relationships in a Copenhagen brothel, about illegal trading with customers' sperm and about trafficking. First and foremost, however, it is the story about the unpredictability of lust, the complex nature of love and about the horrifying revenge of the rejected lover.
