Spit and Ashes

The film features a narrative centered around the High Priestess, who represents the wild and grotesque aspects of female desire, posing a challenge to male power. Alongside her is the Midwife, who embodies the spirit of women who sought control over their own bodies and faced dire consequences for their pursuit of knowledge and agency.

Spit and Ashes employs a series of erotic and brutal rituals as its characters come together to reclaim their bodies, preparing for the fight against oppressive forces. The film's unique take on these serious themes through a fantastical lens makes it notable within its genre.
