The tale of the Viennese prostitute Josephine Mutzenbacher – inquisitive, submissive, and well below the age of consent – is a pornographic classic and a problematic article of cultural heritage. At a casting call for a new film adaptation, various male candidates aged 16 to 99 read, improvise, sing, discuss, and reflect on selected excerpts from the book, published over a century ago. Documentary filmmaker Ruth Beckermann works with the book as a tool through which men of different generations, nationalities, and sexual orientations can share their own intimate histories. Part performative concept, part original adaptation, part strategic and yet subtle reversal of gender roles.
