The Female Orgasm Explained and The Male Orgasm Explained The Female Orgasm: The sexual revolution of the ’70s has allowed women to claim their right to pleasure and to better know their body. However, 30 years later, the female orgasm remains mysterious to a lot of people – both men and women. And still today many women admit they have never experienced an orgasm. In this documentary, women speak openly of their experience, and their testimonies are accompanied by analyses from psychoanalysts and sex therapists. The Male Orgasm Explained: 90% of men orgasm each time they have sex. Men are told they are easily satisfied which means that male sexuality is rarely discussed. This film focuses on the testimonies of men, love or indiscriminate, and through their testimonies we discover the complexity of male orgasm.

Even now, in times of an ubiquitous sexualisation of everyday life, the female orgasm continues to remain a mystery. In the documentary essay LA PETITE MORT, women of different ages and with different sexual preferences share how they experience orgasms, describe what it feels like and open up about a failed climax. Removed from pornography and excessive eroticism, they open up in indirect conversation with director-narrator Annie Gisler, who illustrates the sensual narratives of her protagonists with poetic, abstract and metaphorical images. Driven by the desire to overcome taboos and expectations that still overshadow female sexuality, the young Swiss filmmaker provides a sensitive and humorous examination of feminine intimacy in all its multifaceted richness. A dialogue among women, for women. And men.
