Moneyshot
Sex is sexy - when it's good. Moneyshot is a topical comedy about making feminist porn.
Synopsis:
Sari, 42, has been a porn actress for most of her adult life. However, she’s become too old and worn for the job and gets the boot. At the unemployment office penniless Sari meets Linnea, 25, who dreams of becoming a film director. Together the women start producing and directing feminist porn. In their quest to find the essence of the female gaze, Sari and Linnea happily smash taboos as well as glass ceilings.
Money Shot is a story about the friendship of two women of different generations, and about their individual quests to find pleasure and the meaning of it.
