Lea and Hanna, university students in Vienna, need jobs to make some money on the side. They could always wait tables—but call girls earn more. In DAY AND NIGHT Austrian director Sabine Derflinger takes an unreservedly matter-of-fact look at two young women (played by Anna Rot and Magdalena Kronschläger) who consider prostitution an adventure until reality catches up with them.
