In a remote French village, a diverse group of British expatriates has formed a pagan sex collective. Led by Tony and Amanda, they reject societal norms, worshiping sex, the vagina, and Lucifer. Their rock band, Rockbitch, spreads their message across Europe, despite controversy. Within the collective, sex is revered as both pleasure and protection against outside threats. Personal histories intertwine, and conflicts are resolved through open communication. Despite facing scrutiny and suspicion, the collective remains a sanctuary for its members, who find liberation and belonging in their unconventional lifestyle.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
