Ceramic dildos intended to go beyond cis-normative sex toys; the forbidden love of Josefa and Maria during the Inquisition; a singing narrator… Such are the elements that make up DILDOTECTONICS. A masterful blend of time and place, this film gives free rein to a search for pleasure that is free from all normative constraints.
