Breast Talk

Are you firmly attached or just hanging loose? Every pair of breast is unique, at the same time so alike every other pair.

Sounds crazy? Don´t worry, it gets worse. In this fictional documentary, animated romcomt boobs are shown in a way we never seen before. Breasts are not sex objects or baby feeders here, but part of a unit, with feelings, opinions and wisdom. The kind of wisdom you get from sharing life – or body – for a long time.
