In the 1980s, a student finds a side job at a phone sex line operator. The phone doesn’t stop ringing. Blushes guaranteed. What starts as a silly experiment expands into a million-euro industry.
Amsterdam, 1987. Dutch society is going through a change, and so is psychology student Marly Salomon. She takes a side job at a brand-new company owned by two brothers: Teledutch. The telecom company is Europe’s first enterprise in phone sex lines. In no time, the brothers are showered with money and Marly is completely sucked into this wild and rapid transformation. The series looks back on a new way of experiencing anonymous sex via adult chat lines. Not only the consumers’ morals, but above all those of the devisers of these lines changed permanently.
