POSH

Posh is a film about RONIQUE XXX a Berlin based artist and scientist experimenting with life as an extraterrestrial in human form. She writes, composes and performs her own invention of sound called Hard Sci Fucking’ Funk. She witnesses a murder and transforms into a mutant femme-fatale avenger.

“My initial research about animal kingdom oddities began with clownfish. They happily change sex as a natural process of their life span: if they’re lucky. Whenever a leading female, or bitch if you will, dies unexpectedly within the colony, one of the more gifted males will mutate into a female and take her place, mating with the most dominant male.” Ronique XXX
