Synopsis

An eccentric Dominatrix wears a macro-skirt made of her grandmother’s clothes sewn together. She walks her adored slaves through the streets of the city: the shots are slow-camera and the music fawns as in a perfume advertisement. The dominatrix and her chained slaves overturn stereotypes of gender and representation of love through gestures of consensual submission and mutual affection. “V&TL eau de parfum – the sequel” is a parody of romantic and often toxic love sold to us by marketing.

The short film is part of the cross-media project “Vodka & Tena Lady”, created in 2010 through 2018 with the participation of Grandma Giulia. Some of the clothes that belonged to her, have been used to make the macro-skirt, assembled in the initial making-of scenes.
