Too Much Pussy (dir. Emilie Jouvet, France/Germany)
Seven women take on a performance art tour through the famous night clubs and theaters of Europe. They are activists, artists, writers, musicians, sex-workers and porn stars, of various sexual (dis)orientations and gender expressions.
In this explicit documentary, Emilie Jouvet shows it all: their wild adventures, the intimate connections and the inevitable tensions evolving between each other, their sexual encounters with the locals and their lives between pornography and art, performance and reality, personal and political.
