Chester, a cartoonist, and Sonny, a TV host - are a long-term, committed romantic couple. When Sonny introduces the idea of opening up their relationship, Chester begins sleeping with sex workers, forcing him to face his issues with intimacy and romance in the process.

Based on the best-selling graphic novel by acclaimed alternative-cartoonist Chester Brown, Paying For It is a “provocative, hilarious and heartfelt” (The Globe and Mail) personal take on romance and relationships. From writer/director Sook-Yin Lee, the film “displays a maturity and thoughtfulness (...) in the messy contradictions we may hold about love” (RogerEbert.com).
