Synopsis:

Australian newcomer Davida Allen's film is a sharp, funny look at a woman's attempts to balance her passions with her responsibilities. All Vicki (Susie Porter) wants is passionate, romantic sex. Unfortunately, she finds herself married to a self-absorbed doctor who is rarely home and saddled with two screaming babies. She is not feeling sexy. At first she resorts to Walter Mitty-like fantasies about big muscular men. But when she takes a part-time job as a painting instructor and catches the eye of a sultry bohemian type, she risks losing her husband and her family. Later she manages to fuse her fantasies with her artistic urges in a manner both funny and touching for the man she loves. This film was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival.

The story of a young woman''s sexual yearnings and determination to overcome the restrictions of domestic life.

Feeling Sexy is a story about Vicki, (Susie Porter), a passionate and vivacious artist with a voracious appetite for life and love. When she meets and marries medical student Gred, (Tamblyn Lord), she feels she has found true happiness, but two kids and hours, weeks, years of house chores later soon shatter the dream. Vicki wants freedom, release and self-expression, and despite her love for Greg, falls into a lusty affair with art student Hugo. But dishonesty and deceit are not for Vicki. She fatally confesses all to Greg and home life becomes hellish, with Vicki left crushed and demoralised and Greg suspicious and mistrusting. A radical solution is called for and Vicki discovers that the answer may lie within her own creativity and imagination. Vicki is 'married with children' and caught in the universal dilemma - how do you keep the passion alive?
