Monogamia

Israel, Germany2023documentary73'Międzynarodowy konkurs dokumentalny (2024)

At different stages of life physical intimacy means different things, but its absence can be equally hurtful. The director observes his senior parents whose relationship burned out a long time ago, for which his mother tries to compensate with increasingly riskier shopaholism. The son initiates a psychodrama featuring his parents and at the same time tests his own marriage, which is falling into a routine. This hybrid, self-reflexive and to a large extent self-ironic documentary poses the question whether monogamy nowadays is still the best form of a relationship between two persons.
