What about tenderness, dammit ?! 18

What about tenderness, dammit ?!

Olympe de Gê

When did our vision of free sexuality become a synonym of control, and even emotional disengagement? In all our time spent on Tinder or Porhub, vulnerability and intimacy are often absent from the screen. Here are two films where sex may be explicit, raw and even clinical but where poetry and tenderness emerge. For our emotional pleasure.

Olympe de Gê

Skyler, a 36 year old trans man, wants to experience sexual penetration with a cisgender man for the first time. He would like the “traditional” penis/vagina penetration everyone talks about.. When D day arrives, things don’t go as planned, because from fantasy to reality…there’s a world of emotions.

Olympe de Gê

Inside a porn movie theater. Spectators come and go, in quest of sex.. Furtive blow jobs, toilet trysts, sex is stoical, passionless, soberly filmed. Under the scrutiny of Nolot’s camera, it’s an interaction like any other. Depth and emotion hide in the dialogs. Effusions, existential questions about solitude, loss, encounters.
