Baltic premiere
My Sole Desire
Explicit striptease! Hot lesbians in love! The unseen nightlife of sex workers! Naughty deeds of men! Fun naked people on the street in see-through clothes! A handful of spotless cameos!
The erotically charged, sinful, and poetical drama bravely mixes obscure dungeons of striptease with a sensual LGBT love affair without any judgments. Popular actress Lucie Borleteau gives a female gaze perspective to horny passions in forbidden to enter secret rooms of a strip club. Fearless duo Zita Hanrot and Louise Chevillotte (seen in Venice’s and Berlin’s winning films “Happening” and “Synonimes”; also “Benedetta” and most recently “After”) deliver top-notch hauntingly bared performances.
In passionate Paris, the most desired and professional dancer of the strip club À mon seul désir, Mia meets a curious newcomer Manon, who is open to embracing the gutsy lifestyle of temptation. Mia carefully hides her moonlighting profession from her unaware boyfriend and prepares Manon for a challenging audition. She whispers important suggestions about respectful and dangerously needy clients. Manon is not afraid to take bigger risks as she prefers to get a taste of everything and test her abilities to the limits. Romantic fling flares between the sex workers as Manon is forced to rediscover her sexuality with inexperienced senses.
