The Penis Conundrum is a sharp, surreal comedy about Laura — composed, capable, and quietly battling the shame she’s never learned to name.
After spotting an undeniably distracting bulge during a routine work meeting, her imagination spirals, sending panic from the boardroom into her private life.
What follows is hilariously uncomfortable: a collision of desire, repression, and the double standards women are still expected to navigate.
Through bold visual comedy and surreal metaphor, the film explores how women are policed around sexuality — first by culture, then by themselves.
It speaks to any woman who has ever felt silenced, ashamed, or “too much.” And it uses humour not to soften the truth — but to make it visible.
In a world that fuels anxiety and self-doubt, we’re choosing to tell a different kind of story: light without being shallow, funny without punching down.
We plan to release the film as an inspiring and interactive event through talks and more - please check our events page of sign up to our newsletter to find out more.

“I wrote The Penis Conundrum following a day when sex was on my mind and I felt a little alone
because I had no idea how normal or odd my desires were because we, as women, rarely discuss them. In a world where society ruthlessly labels women as ‘whores,’ ‘good girls, or ‘crazy,’ it can be scary to dare express our desires even in intimate settings. So, I felt that it would be a great topic to explore. Besides, we have seen plenty of boob jokes or slapstick comedy from a male perspective, but we rarely see comedies about what turns women on.”
— Anne-Cécile Ville (Writer and Director)
This absurdist comedy masterfully blends unexpected elements with sharp narrative focus, employing a dynamic visual style.
"The Penis Conundrum" is a comedic exploration into the complexities of intimacy, shame, and the courage it takes to confront one's true self. Through moments of vulnerability, humour, and raw honesty, Laura confronts her desires, shedding light on the importance of communication and acceptance in love. Laura represents many women’s struggles when it comes to expressing or acting out their sexual fantasies. The film will hopefully open many conversations about sex and shame.
