Past Run
Paying For It
In the late '90s, Chester and Sonny are a long-term, committed, romantic couple. When Sonny wants to redefine their relationship, Chester, a painfully introverted cartoonist, starts sleeping with sex workers and discovers a new kind of intimacy in the process. PAYING FOR IT is directed and co-written by Sook-Yin Lee, and adapted from the graphic novel by Chester Brown.

“A provocative romance in the style of Pedro Almodóvar...crossed with a documentary about alternative life paths.”
— Peter Howell, Toronto Star
