Synopsis

Set some time in the undeterminable past: Emily is sent to work and live in the Sovereign’s castle. She manages to escape into the woods, where she meets some lively hookers. Together they become «Robber Girls» taking a stand and fighting the patriarchy.
Mix Robin Hood with voluptous burlesque pleasure, add a colourful cast of grotesque deviants, and you get a lusciously gripping coming-of-age fable in a post-feminist society.
