A wry comedy feature about one of life's biggest decision.. Sasha, a cartoonist, wishes that she could get pregnant by mistake with her girlfriend, Maya. Having to be so rational about it is putting her off. Presuming that straight people have it easier, she creates two heterosexual scenarios in order to further investigate procreation. As she draws more, the fiction begins to influence Sasha's experience – or perhaps Sasha is making her anxieties rub off on her characters.

Director Michelle Johnson culled girl-on-girl scenes from more than 20 different grindhouse styled movies, cutting them together with a cheesy groove soundtrack and insights about lesbians from a scientific journal. With clips from a selection of some classic made-for-straight-men movies that have been reclaimed for the ladies featuring Swedish wildcats, frisky inmates, sinning nuns, lesbian vampires and a whole array of astonishingly sexed-up and fabulously big-haired women. Compiled from sexploitation films spanning the years of 1965 through the early 80s this hot presentation is guaranteed to be well worth the price of admission.
