Plot

Marta Balletbo-Coll and Ana Simon wrote, directed, and produced this English-language, Spanish-made comedy-fantasy, reminiscent of Philip Wylie's novel The Disappearance (once planned for filming by George Pal). Sales are down at the sanitary-napkin company Wondernapking, so the boss offers a big bonus to any employee with an inventive solution to move one billion units in three months. Noticing how male domination of women resulted in shorter menstrual periods, Rosa (Balletbo-Coll) devises a plan to eliminate men with chemically contaminated toothpaste. All men vanish, so Rosa and her gal-pals, facing that 90-day deadline, move on to Wondernapking marketing concepts, while U.S. government agent Parker (Laura Schrok) investigates the mystery of the minus men. Shown at the 1998 San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
