  • Lucie Borleteau – À mon seul désir AKA My Sole Desire (2022)

    Synopsis:
    For young PhD student Manon, far from being (just) a last-resort need to engage in sordid activities in order to make ends meet, stripping is also a means to explore her relationship with desire. Just as she thinks, upon entering into the lair of sensuality, that she’s exploring her potential to awaken her desire, she ends up encountering another desire of an overwhelming kind. She who thought she’d be meeting toxic women actually encounters fairies and muses, friends and lovers.
