Ne parliamo a cena

Sex and Marriage

Sex and marriage.... do they really go together like a horse and carriage? What happens in bed after ten years of partnership and some children? Italian men play football once a week while the ladies gossip over organic meals... same issues, opposite points of view.

Over dinner four friends brag about their sex life, their wives over dinner elsewhere feel very differently about their sex lives. Disaster strikes when the couples confront each other over their usual Saturday dinner.

The central idea of this interesting and daring TV pilot presented at Rome Fiction Fest 2008, is to observe in a cynical manner the contradictory universe of couples over 30, starting with their sex lives.

The main theme of the series is: how does sex lives of couples who have been together for many years change? How do husband and wife still "young", but with 10 years of a relationship and a few children live their sex life?

Actors-Creators Marco Bonini and Edoardo Leo (also directing) sneakily let us spy on the taboo of married sex lives, starting from what goes on between the sheets: anxiety, frigidity, confessions of masturbation, blue pill, late orgasms, preferred positions, erection problems, erotic fantasies and small perversions within married couples.
