Antisex 6o2o3y

Director: Larisa Isaeva.
Questions of sex and physical copulation always excited mankind. In all centuries! In 20-th century the mankind has gone through so-called sexual revolution - free love, free feelings, free sex. Now, in 21 century, people were satiated with sex, a sensuality, a pornography and have thought up a new way of the protest: against sex in general! There was a new movement - movement of the asexuals! Sex destroys the person, speaks asexuals. Physical copulation stirs to spiritual development of the person, they approve. Whether they are right? Musical comedy ANTISEX is the movie about it!. The statistics approves, that each 100-th inhabitant of the Earth - asexual! Also it is very serious problem of that time in which we live! But... The Mankind being dared will leave the complexes and lacks! We have tried to consider very serious problem of our epoch through a comedy. This is the not boring story about sexual disfunction, not the cool erotic movie. This is the funniest fairy tale about love! The love story between ordinary man and not so ordinary woman… She’s not sexless – she’s just asexual. It is ASEXUALITY! It’s just a movement! And you probably heard about it before! But! Never like that! The concept is: sex could destroy your individuality! But the man-hero will find the way how to fight for his love! And of course: Love always wins! Lot’s of music, dances, sudden turning-points…
