Synopsis: 

Documentary about female menstruation. Why is menstruation still a taboo? Why is it still often the subject of ridicule and jokes? And of silence and secrecy! There is still a lot of educational work to do about the period. These and other questions and reflections raise Red Cunt, the first part of a trilogy that the director dedicates to female taboos. The Emes Trilogy: Menstruation, Masturbation, and Menopause. In addition to collecting the testimony of activists, gynecologists, artists, or feminists, Red Cunt uses animation to talk about the period and make it visible.
