Synopsis: TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT is an essay film that celebrates femininity. For this film, over 30 women were interviewed throughout Germany. They reflect on what it means to exist as a person read as female in a world that was not made for them. It’s about intimacy and sex and, for that very reason, about life. This is part of their stories – for us.
