desired! – film lust and queer

Axelle is experiencing one of the worst weekends of her life: She’s still caught up in dealing with the pain of a break-up, but has to travel to her sister’s hen party. This is taking place in a creepy spa in the mountains and is turning out quite differently than planned—just like the encounter between Axelle and Marguerite. It starts with pastel-coloured muffins, followed by arguments between all the women, before finally ending with queer flirting and making out.
