If you’re a couple, you’re always looking for something to do together. If you’re smart and fat, you’re thinking video games, bar hopping, and/or anal sex.

I don’t know who director Jon Knautz is, but I’m pretty certain he’s dated his fair share of strippers. Goddess of Love is the movie you make after attempting to love someone whose soul is dead, but looks great dancing naked to Mr. Big.
Goddess of Love tells the story of love gone sour from the perspective of a lap-dancer named Venus as she loses her shit over suspicions that her boyfriend is cheating on her sweet, fine ass. The film—which looks awesome—is currently being shopped at the European Film Market.
