Hanna leaves Sweden for her dream city: San Francisco. With the intention of exploring and fully experiencing the city’s queer scene, she meets Chloe and Cyd, a dominatrix and a trans guy, who will help her get close to the world of sex work. Labor is a film diary, a box full of interviews and experiences, a way for Hanna to keep track of her sexual awakening and identity discovery, to hold together the pieces of the person she was before leaving and the one she is becoming.
