Monika Treut’s eclectic film presents four short documentaries profiling unconventional women. Cultural critic Camille Paglia explains her way of thinking, while performance artist Annie Sprinkle discusses her work, even inviting viewers to see her cervix with a speculum. One segment probes a professional woman’s fascination with sadomasochism, and the final portrait follows a female‑to‑male trans individual who adopts a biker look—slick black hair, leather jacket and tattoos.
