Morgana had lived in a monotonous and loveless marriage for 20 years when she ordered an escort for the first time. This encounter heralds an eventful change in her dreary everyday routine, opens up unknown worlds to her and leads her into a self-determined and sex-positive life. Participation in an erotic competition catapults her into the international feminist porn community, where she not only experiences recognition and appreciation – she also begins to direct, porn for women and her own life. Her life seems to merge with art. But even though Morgana uses erotic filmmaking as a tool for creative catharsis, she still has to face the demons from her past again and again.

“Bled out” is an empowering and humorous remake of “Un chant d’amour”. But the young male bodies from Jean Genet’s classic are replaced by post-menopausal women who celebrate their blood, their aging bodies, and their erotic powers.
