ALBERTO MIELGO is a Spanish painter. BELLADONNA is an American porn actress. This is probably the most honest documentary about art, prejudices and the expectations that audience (buyers, galleries, common people… and so on) create around artists and performers. “What I realized over the years is that when I’m on camera and I’m going to have sex all these ideas of
