Synopsis:
Shéhrazade is a sex worker who is reclaiming her body and mind from trauma by using illustration and animation to express her point of view and to tilt the power dynamic between voyeur and object. "I thought I could fight the other sex with sex," she contends, as she literally draws on her unique experiences of love and healing.
