Monogamia

Israel, Germany2023documentary73'

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.
