Cinema Delle Donne Film Festival, Italy (2003) – Winner: Audience Award
Antoinette, Linda, Zandi and Shameena. Four young women, who grew up in four radically different worlds, explore one topic: their sexuality. Through a series of sensitively dramatised, though sometimes disturbing, interviews, they recount pivotal moments of trauma and ecstasy in their sexual development. Along the way – interspersed with street takes of teens airing their views on sex – taboo subjects such as abuse, child masturbation and HIV disclosure are addressed with refreshing candour. What makes their stories more compelling is the absence of victimhood and finger-pointing: these women have the courage to confront the dark side and celebrate the joy of sex. An inspiring affirmation of one of the most powerful forces at work in the human race.
