Sex Equo (Sex in the Foreground)

After disobeying God and having visited the site of "forbidden fruits", Adam and Eve are trying to regain the lost Eden. For each fruit a parable about sex is told. 'Sex Equo' is the first movie of the 'Tractatus logico-phileroticus', a projecy by Werther Germondari, for the realization of a triptych of movies about sex, started in 1998. In February 2020 will be realized the second one, 'Sex Novo', and in 2021 will be realized the last one, (S)explicitus. “A series of short stories with a fetish, eccentric, porn, and funny sexuality, in the same remixed and exasperated tone of Italian picaresque comedies. There can’t be any possible linear storytelling in this lesson of sexual misbehaving, because Germondari & Spagnoli’s four eyes see a lot more than a single pair and have a lot less guilt than many. So, high impact voyeurism is the base here for a whole festive imagery of sex, no matter how strange, vulgar, or chic it may be, seem or look.

This new cinematographic Kamasutra features Adam and Eve in a paradise of infinitely tempting red apples, a pornographer focused on his Little Red Riding Hood, an androgynous shooter, some playful bi sexuality, multiple-use inflatable bodies, and other indecent fun elements of the flesh. And all that in the context of Italian architecture, which even if it seems touristic, it draws an appealing key on each door to explore other locations of pleasure. You just have to know how to look and enjoy”. (Buenos Aires - XIII Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente 2011) "A moving love story with blow-up dolls; what a man will do in order to have sex with a mysterious stranger; a dominatrix with a very specialized skill – these are just some of the stories in this highly original, surreal and most importantly, very funny collection of tales about sex from Italy. Introduced by Adam and Eve who are suitably obsessed with forbidden fruits, these absurd tales reminded us why sex is the hidden driving force behind the human existence. One of the highlights of the festival and not to be missed". (The Underground Film Festival, Hong Kong, 2011)
