Anna (Melonie Diaz, Be Kind, Rewind) has her second Coming Out – but not as a lesbian this time, but as a revolutionary. Anna is shy, just out of high school, lives with her parents and works at a beauty clinic specializing in breast implants. One night she bumps into Sadie (Nicole Vicius), who is spraypainting the face of the clinic with anti-cosmetic-surgery-slogans. Sadie is sexy and fearless and fights for the feminist underground movement C(i)A – Clits in Action. Unable to resist Sadie's charm and the attraction of the revolution, Anna begins her rollercoaster journey from mousy wallflower to lesbian-feminist guerrilla fighter.

Itty Bitty Titty Committee is a love letter to freedom and the revolution and to what can happen when a young woman decides to use her power and rage to change the world.
