Labor is a love letter from the current moment to a future that embraces queerness, community, and sex work. The film follows Hanna, who leaves her family behind to go to San Francisco, where she hopes to explore her sexuality. At a party, she meets Chloe, a professional dominatrix, and Cyd, a trans masculine escort, and they begin a decades long relationship that prioritizes working through conflict, connection, and desire against the backdrop of doing sex work.

Through a mix of interviews, captured conversations, voice over narration, and abstract shots of the city, we see Hanna, Chloe, and Cyd and their relationships evolve over time and across international borders.
