Breathe

Camila is a showrunner who is going to present to a streaming platform the first episode of a series in which she has worked a lot, the day she thinks her life is going to change because of her professional success, it changes, but for another reason. Just when she arrives at the office she receives on her cell phone a sex video in which she is the protagonist. In this one it is all about Camila, the face of the man with whom she has sex is not seen and soon she goes viral under the hashtag #ladymultiorgasmos.
The public scorn is brutal and her life collapses. In all the networks she is labeled with a thousand pejorative adjectives that no woman should receive. Her mother decides to take her into her home when she sees that she has depressive feelings and is even thinking of taking her own life in the face of such overwhelming social pressure. While at her mother's house, she discovers a piece of writing that says: Why can't I live my sexuality as I wish? Why do others want to tell me who to love? Why must I live hidden pleasures when I want to live them in the sunlight? Camila is shocked to read these words, which could well have been written by her and is surprised to realize that they belong to her great-grandmother Yaya who lived a hundred years ago and who was branded a sinner by the church when her sexuality was exposed, in the same way that her great-granddaughter is judged by a society on the Internet.
