Personal Services (1987)

This film follows Christine Painter, a waitress who converts her suburban home into an unusual brothel for older men. Inspired by Cynthia Payne's story, the movie explores how Christine, with the help of a prostitute named Shirley and a cross-dressing Wing Commander called Morten, improves her life by catering to a specific clientele. Christine views herself as providing a service for respectable older men with unusual desires. As her business grows into a place of discreet encounters involving judges, generals, and other respected figures, the film examines themes of exploitation, empowerment, and societal expectations. The story culminates when Christine's business is shut down, resulting in a court case where the judge has personal connections to her clients. The film presents a compelling look at human desires and the boundaries of morality and acceptance in the pursuit of pleasure and fulfillment.
