Late 60s. Carmine district of Brescia, a place of delinquency and ordinary prostitution, until three men with an all-female appearance arrive: they are Lea, Carlotta and Lora, the first transvestites from Brescia to take to the streets to beat. The authorities try in every way to stop them: arrest, fines, warnings, forced confinement; but they settle in "Dollhouse" and make it a brothel.
Slowly the place is filled with other waves of transvestites and transsexuals, not always welcome: the old levers see competition increase and the newcomers must win the right to beat under the house. Armando is one of them. Just nineteen years old she moved to this Eden of lust, where she experienced every excess on her skin, taking very few breaks: a few summer business trips, a brief (and unfair) parenthesis in jail and two years of marriage. Armando knew the most hidden desires of the thousands of men who climbed the rough stairs at number 5 of Vicolo Rossovera and for ten years she photographed life within those walls, the customers who frequented them, work colleagues, and friends of a lifetime. Now that few people remember the moans of pleasure that came from the house, it is time to recall them.
