9 TO 5: DAYS IN PORN is a portrait about people who work in adult entertainment, a business bigger than the music industry. Filmed over a period of more than a year, ten different stories unfold, delivering insight into the personal lives of people in the adult movie business, their hopes and their dreams. However, the demands of the job can take a toll; and a short time in this world can be the start, a part…. or the end of both a career and a normal life.
