DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: The demystification and the disillusionment of sex and intimacy is something many (if not) all men/women face at a young age, starting from my generation and afterwards. With this film I’d like to continue to build on a subject that has fascinated me since forever, as a hopeless romantic; what the hell are we doing as humans, concerning love and intimacy? What is it, really? And how can I show that? In this case, I want to show sex as it is; sometimes weird, sometimes hilarious, sometimes beautiful and sometimes painful.
