Shortbus is a modern-day poly-sexual underground salon. Sofia is a sex therapist who has never had an orgasm. She`s been faking for years with her husband Rob. She meets Severin, a female dominatrix who tries to help her. Sofia`s clients include James and Jamie, a gay couple who are starting to open up their relationship sexually. James suggests a three way relationship with Ceth. All the characters converge on Shortbus, a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and sex. The realistic sex scenes of Shortbus are very explicit, but it would be very difficult to define this film as pornography. It would be easier to describe this film as a very honest romance. Shortbus is directed by John Cameron Mitchell who directed Hedwig and the Angry Inch. (Pak Dosin)
