Synopsis

A psychological portrait of relationships and sexual desire. Diana and her husband Julian have been together for some time. Despite Diana's insecurity, she agrees to experiment with another couple sexually for the first time. They post an advertisement on the internet, to which Alex and Timo respond. Diana and Julian invite the other couple over to Diana's parents' ultra-modern house for a weekend.
Alex and Timo are confident swingers, especially gorgeous Alex, whose ravishing sexiness and confident sexuality intimidates quiet Diana, about whom it is hinted that the house holds unhappy childhood memories. However, Timo seems strangely uninterested. But once night falls and their sexual exploration begins the relationships are put to the test.

Cast

The film had a modest release, therefore didn't do too well at the Dutch box office but did well on the DVD/Video circuit.
