Director: Alena Shevchenko

Synopsis: This short film is a manifestation of masturbation. Female masturbation is still taboo in society, however, a man’s masturbation is totally fine. A lot of women said they’d never masturbated. We have so many doubts about ourselves. The film should raise this topic, and make people more open to discussing it.

Bio: Alena is a Berlin based writer and director. She balances between commercial, films and music videos. She likes to tell stories through a female perspective. Her focus is relationships, sexuality and comedy. In her work, she marries three of her biggest passions — one is a big love of telling stories through characters, the other one – dance and fashion. And on top of that she adds a piece of irony.
