CGiii Comment

This is an experimental short film from 1991. Manuela, the mermaid, has a problem: the only thing her counterparts in the self-awareness group are interested in is the question, "Where is your clitoris".

"Venus 220 Volt" is a feminist satire about the struggle of emancipated women to gain pleasure.
