Pit of Sin or The Magic of the Senses, 1979

17 male - 4 female and crowd

Yiorgos Maniotis

Living on the edge of social tolerance and banished from the world of “normal” people, where anything is allowed, six transvestites who work in a huge pit, which bears a strong resemblance to an abandoned mine, recount the stories and the events that led to their sinful and dangerous lives on the sidelines. The neighbors and church authorities decide to take matters into their own hands and purge their neighborhood. Every step of their sacred struggle is documented by the media, causing the intervention of political forces, who, in turn, wish to impose their own rules.
