Almost every woman grows up having to work on herself in order to remain desirable. Why? What if we stopped pushing ourselves into a sexy pose with all our might? What if we no longer fought for the right to be sexy, but were truly free? What if we stopped investing all our time and energy in being heard and the world started to hear us? A modern movie about modern women and men - who might be able to find a common language.
