What happens

Slovenian Girl (Slovene: Slovenka; released in the United States as A Call Girl) is a 2009 drama film directed by Damjan Kozole. It stars Nina Ivanišin as Aleksandra, a 23-year-old Slovenian who leads a double life as a respectable student and a call girl. The film premiered at the 2009 Sarajevo Film Festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina before being released theatrically in more than 30 countries, including the United States. According to Shaz Bennett of Moving Pictures, "the film is ultimately a fascinating study of free enterprise in free fall. In this mesmerizing chamber piece, director Damjan Kozole has contrived a new style of narrative to convey a view of capitalist culture at once outrageous and non-judgmental."
