Phroot Sahlad

T0856128358
phroot sahlad zooms in on Perry, a young Filipina-Australian woman stuck in Brisbane's sweaty suburbia as she undergoes therapy for vaginismus - a condition involving the involuntary spasm of vaginal muscles. Perry begins to construct a narrative for her psychosomatic pain - or her "clenchy cunt" as she calls it. As she juggles expectations of Filipino Catholicism, white Australian heterosexuality, family ethics, and living as a fetishised East Asian woman in the Western world, she gives us clues into how her world has made a profound impact on her physiology and vice versa.
