Steam Clean takes place in a sauna for women in Europe, where a group of women has gathered for a queer party. A lot of people don't understand why there's a "Q" in "LGBTQ," so I'll briefly explain: "queer" refers to all of the above in "LGBTQ" and more. "Queer" doesn't assume binary genders or binary sexuality, so someone might be homoflexible, meaning they are mostly homosexual but occasionally go for other genders as well. The group of women include a few friends, a FTM transgender who has had top surgery, and a goddess.
No, they don't all go at it once they get naked; get your mind out of the gutter. They talk, about gender fluidity, sexuality, online dating, not fitting in, work inequality, date rape, and queer theory. I found the longish (84 page) Retrofit title to be fairly interesting. The artwork is done with color pencil, and it has detailed backgrounds with simple yet recognizable faces. I can't begin to explain the techniques used because I'm not an artist, but the overall impression is one of tension. The women argue and discuss sensitive matters.
