[1] Constance is based on the Puzzy Power Manifesto[2] developed by Zentropa in 1997, and was the first in a series of pornographic films aimed particularly at a female audience.

A young woman, Constance (Anaïs), arrives at the mansion of the experienced Lola (Katja Kean), where she is initiated into the mysteries of sexuality.

The story is told in flashback via a framing device with lyrical diary excerpts and narration read by mainstream actresses Christiane Bjørg Nielsen and Hella Joof.

"[4] In 2006, it was in part this film's claim of mainstream audience viewing behind a process that ended up with porn being legalized in Norway.

Lars von Trier is the first to have realised this and produced valuable quality porn films for women.
