Julia Aks and Steve Pinder, USA, 2024, 13 min.
England, 1813. In the middle of a long-awaited marriage proposal, Miss Estrogenia Talbot gets her period. Her suitor, Mr. Dickley, mistakes the blood for an injury, and it soon becomes clear that his expensive education has missed a spot. Perfectly written and executed, absolutely hilarious.
