NOTICE OF THE SELECTION COMITEE

Andy and Charlie string a long series of erotic routines, as if they were the only one in the world. From the dressing rooms, Livia Lattanzio’s camera discloses the only place these naked, yet laboring, bodies can rest. Protected by their nicknames and their showmanship, Andy and Charlie momentarily deflect the ostensible propinquity. Later, the director meets them again, far from the club, which allows news stories to emerge: these two young women ponder and tell their story, and each can guide the other with a simple sentence. By confronting their freedom head on, Andy and Charlie strive to set their own conditions to how they live their life.
