Two women directors, Lea Glob and Mette Carla Albrechtsen, make an open casting call in Copenhagen for an erotic film about true sexual experiences. One hundred curious young women respond to the provocative ad – but the auditions take an unpredictable turn. Slowly the women subjects take over the interviews, discussing their experiences and desires, and leaving the directors silent, as the auditions become the film itself. These women’s desire to understand themselves creates a surprising and intimate arena where honesty creates the potential to rethink the language of female sexuality.
