When Bigna meets Frank for violent lovemaking for the purpose of unspecified release, neither suspects that they are embarking on a kinky pornographic relationsjup which will go through ample sex, drug and techno fueled nights before turning into a love story. But can a peaceful love story overome the overwhelming advent of unadulterated sex? The answer is given in this authenticaly errotic film, using bold scenes, two photogenic protagonists and by showing an honest exploration of the boundaries that separate the heart from the erogenous zones of the human body.


SWITZERLAND | 2022 | COLOR | DCP | 110’ | GERMAN

When Bigna meets Frank for a violent sexual encounter of anonymous release, none of them realize that they embark on a kinky pornographic relationship that will go through many sex, drugs and techno nights before becoming a love story. But can a quiet love story survive in the face of the overwhelming emergence of uncontrollable desire and pure lust? This genuinely erotic films attempts to answer this question, with its extremely bold sex scenes, the two photogenic protagonists and the honest exploration of the boundaries that separate the heart from the erogenous zones of human anatomy.
