Mature Audiences



Down with sexual diktats! Writers and broadcasters Ovidie and Sophie-Marie Larrouy examine prejudice and taboos around sex and encourage women to have it when they want, how they want, and most of all, if they want. Inspired by the French comic book Libres ! Manifeste pour s’affranchir des diktats sexuels, Ovidie and Diglee strongly state that women should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies. This series brings this fundamental message to the screen with talent, humor, and intelligence.
