About Me

SHORTBUS is the new film from HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH creator John Cameron Mitchell.
This is the official UK/Ireland fan site for SHORTBUS. But, like any good salon, we welcome friends from all over the world ... join us! We want this site to be the hub of activity for all Shortbus Lovers.
SHORTBUS follows various New York City characters as they navigate the comic/tragic intersections between sex and love in and around a modern-day polysexual underground salon called Shortbus. Sofia is a sex therapist who has never had an orgasm. She meets Severin, a female dominatrix who tries to help her. Sofia's clients include James and Jamie, who are starting to open up their relationship sexually. James suggests a three-way relationship with Ceth ; Jamie is reluctant. His plans are witnessed by a stalker named Caleb. All the characters converge on Shortbus, a mad nexus of art, music, politics and sex.
