Rodrigo Bellott directs the
drama Sexual Dependency, co-written by Haitian-American writer
Lenelle Moise. The film is a digital video study of the experiences and representations of multicultural youth sexuality.

Starting in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, "My Baby Is a Woman Now" is about teenaged Jessica (
Alexandra Aponte) losing her virginity. "You Damn Whore" is about teenaged Sebastian (
Roberto Urbina) visiting a brothel. "The Bluest Eyes" follows macho Choco (
Jorge Antonio Saavedra) on his last night in Bolivia before he goes to the U.S. Changing the setting to a New York university, "Mirrors" concerns the rape of African-American woman Adinah (
Ronica V. Reddick) . "Angels and Billboards" involves the gang rape of a gay football player (
Matthew Guida).
Sexual Dependency was shown at the
Locarno Film Festival.
