The Sad Girls of the Mountains is an explicit discourse comedy on feminism, depressed porn stars and fragile masculinities. It is a reflection on the stars own experiences in the sex industry, 100 percent self-funded by doing sex work!

Four depressive teenagers withdraw from patriarchal society to start a new life in a mountain hideout. Isolated from society, they transform their misery and melancholia into pornography for their website "Sad Girls" - and use the money they earn to fund their survival. For them, sadness is an act of countercultural resistance. Just when everything seems to be going fine, the arrival of two gonzo reporters threatens to upset the fragile balance of this feminist micro-utopia.

A mockumentary about passive political activists and fragile masculinities - with a flavor of Bruce la Bruce's porno terrorism
