A playful, intimate anthology exploring desire and fantasy across six couples, balancing comedic lightness with genuine questions about pleasure and connection.

Faced with their fantasies, six couples try to explore the hidden sides of their intimate life. Six questions on access to pleasure. From role play to abstinence, via exhibition, six separate stories with the same questioning of desire today in the center.
