the plot of the movie revolves around the girls being forced to dance sexually for an audience but its never shown. as mentioned theres also graphic attempted rape.
Several attempted rapes are portrayed; none go "all the way", but at least one gets as far as physical assault, full body contact and clothing removal.
A large part of the film is set in a brothel. The main characters are portrayed as being forced to work against their will as erotic dancers and prostitutes. They are dressed in these scenes in skimpy stage costumes, and in one sequence are shown in a montage of erotic dances. The main character uses erotic dancing as a major plot point to distract other characters (although these dances are not actually portrayed on screen; only the build-up and reaction of other characters).
