This year, we decided to step away from our program of funny, light and amusing short films about sex. Today, we want to talk about the challenges, problems, inconveniences, but also the pleasures associated with sexual life. This program is about how to defend your boundaries, about the fact that everyone has the right to pleasure if they want it, about growing up, about vulnerability and fragility.
Screening duration: 75 min
Trigger and content warnings: sex, nudity
The films are screened in OV with Ukrainian and English subtitles
Films are available online in Ukraine
