Ever wished weddings were sexier? Well, “The Wedding” by Erika Lust is. This unconventional wedding follows the bride and groom’s story and relationship with their open-minded friends. Once the secret of the couple’s pansexuality and the free nature of their relationship is out in the open, passions run high. Will the groom’s mother accept her son’s sexuality and lifestyle? Will other secret suitors take their chance with the newlyweds? Forever is a very long time, and this extraordinary couple wants to make sure they squeeze the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Erika Lust is one of the most acclaimed and prolific feminist pornographers, the festival follows her career since its early editions. “The Wedding” is her most ambitious feature film to date: a hilarious rom-com diving deep into pansexuality, open relationships, and the stigmas around them.
