The Confession

Directed by Ursinae Vespéral

A woman who has strayed from her righteous path asks forgiveness from the inside of a dimly lit confessional. As she describes her sins, the viewer is transported into her sapphic fantasies before climaxing in a surprise twist ending. "The Confession" is written, directed, filmed, edited, and cast entirely by sex workers in British Columbia, Canada. The film focuses on exploring queer desire within the confines of a church confessional booth, as inspired by the writer's own lived experiences facing homophobia (both internalized and externalized) and realizing her queer identity.
