Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pleasure about? Toggle content

In "Pleasure," a young woman named Bella leaves her small town in Sweden to become a porn star in Los Angeles. She quickly discovers that the glamorous life she imagined is actually a dark and toxic world where the pressure to perform and conform is overwhelming. Bella must choose between her ambition and her integrity as she navigates the treacherous landscape of the adult entertainment industry. The film offers a powerful critique of the objectification of women and the commodification of sex, while also providing a nuanced portrayal of a complex and multifaceted character. Ultimately, "Pleasure" raises important questions about the cost of success and the value of self-respect in an industry that often dehumanizes and exploits its performers.
