#FEMALE PLEASURE is a plea for the liberation of female sexuality in the 21st century. It explores the experiences of five extraordinary women around the globe and their courageous struggle for a self-determined female sexuality and an equal, passionate relationship between the sexes.
#Female Pleasure smoothly glides from one country segment to another and engages audiences with the personal stories of the five women, told through voiceover and solo interviews, as well as a broader look at the cultures in which they live.
