The Key × Short Film
After Catherine is confined to a chastity belt, she's promised the key on her wedding night. When her new husband loses the key, all - but the chastity belt - breaks loose.
The Key is a fantastical period piece that explores body autonomy, sexuality and female pleasure at a time where it was (a little) more than taboo to be sex positive. This film opens the gender boxes we are all put into and the constraints that come with it.
The film is currently in the festival circuit. If you would like to watch the full film, email info@stephaniehalovanic for a private screener link.
