Sex for the Beginners

There is a first for everything, and the moment you realize that you don’t know what will come next or even what you’re supposed to be doing possesses the strangely exciting magic of Russian roulette as well as a massive potential for a panic attack. The seven films in this program look at precisely such moments – or, better said, at such moments in connection with the practical aspects of sex… such as discovering your body, your emotions, and the laws that guide lovers’ relationships. Driven by fate or by their own decisions, the films’ protagonists find themselves caught off guard in situations that they then must somehow deal with. For those of you who have not yet experienced such moments, perhaps they will give you courage and inspiration. For you others, perhaps they will bring a sense of satisfaction that you were not alone in your confusion.
