An intimate portrait of a woman re-discovering her body and desire after cancer.

Based on Wash Me a confession by triple_negative_tits

Some stories need to be told. This is one of them.

Wash Me is an intimate, hopeful, and quietly groundbreaking portrait of a woman rediscovering her body and her desire after breast cancer. Directed by Rebecca Stewart and based on her own experience, this is the first explicit film in history to open an honest conversation about sex and breast cancer. And it is as beautiful as it is necessary.

In the director's own words:

"When I started treatment, it was as if winter had gripped my body. My hair fell out, my periods stopped, my libido slowed. Nothing responded as it had before. It felt like I would be cold forever. But just weeks after finishing chemotherapy, a few wisps of hair sprouted from my head like the first buds of spring. A heat ran through my veins that I hadn't felt in months. To feel one's body coming back together after illness is the most electrifying and empowering sensation. This film is inspired by the moment I felt myself switch back on."

Starring Victoria Rose and Jonte, Wash Me is a film about care, intimacy, and the radical, joyful act of returning to your own body. A reminder that desire doesn't disappear; it waits. And coming back to it, on your own terms, is one of the most powerful things a person can do.

Sexual wellness has never looked more like courage.

      To see the regaining of lustful, bodily life energy in a tender relationship is very touching. In a few weeks, I will undergo heart surgery to restore the function of my severely insufficient mitral valve. The procedure will involve there or four visible incisions in my breast, and I am afraid of how they might affect my already limited attractiveness as an older queer man. „Wash Me“ is sensually healing, revealing our vulnerability through the interplay of Eros and Thanatos.

      How gentle he was with his hands and mouth. How sensitive to her reactions. The joy they both seem to feel.

      I loved it! mostly because it's so rare to talk about sexuality when we are hill, and the lost of libido and self esteem are one of the biggest issues to deal with. Loved the sensuality of the scenes, and the care and kindness the actors had between them.
