Bringing something new to the coming-of-age genre, VERA AND THE PLEASURE OF OTHERS is the debut feature of directors Federico Actis and Romina Tamburello, a film about desire, sex, female masturbation and the right to discover one’s pleasure.
17-year-old Vera divides her days between volleyball, school, and a secret hobby; she rents out an empty apartment to teenagers looking for a place to have sex. Vera steals the keys from her distracted mother, who manages different properties and organizes everything. The teenagers come and go, using the apartment for a few uninterrupted hours. Playing invisible, Vera stays behind the closed door as her own sexual desires unfold, listening to other people’s pleasure.
