Made and presented as part of the “Gay Night” for Canal+, this 30 minutes movie is an intent to answer the question “is there a lesbian culture?”. The historical and international dimension seems therefore obvious to answer this question that sounds like an uppercut against the white heteropatriarchal mainstream culture. Series of short movies and news stories extracts (1912 to 1995), punctuated by interviews of lesbian figures over the whole world. Nathalie Magnan has created a visual shock presenting the lesbian culture in all its forms throughout the 20th century: merry appropriation and fierce repackaging of images produced by the mainstream culture.

Born in Los Angeles but a New Yorker by choice, Barbara Hammer is a whole genre unto herself. Her pioneering 1974 short film Dyketactics, a four-minute, hippie wonder consisting of frolicking naked women in the countryside, broke new ground for its exploration of lesbian identity, desire and aesthetic.

Anton and Erika started out as friends for five years and got into a romantic relationship for seven years. Anton is a commercial director while Erika is a former band member and becomes his stay-at-home partner. The day finally comes when he asks her to marry him.
