Post coitum (2004)
20 May 2004 • Comedy • 1h 44m
People get into a strange state of mind after orgasm. They laugh at things which they would have killed for moments before and say things they normally wouldn't say. The nine characters in the film experience this many times due to the mathematics result of four men times five women. This then occurs exactly twenty times. A sequence of mini episodes arises which run into a single tale of love, conspiratorial relationships and sex. The entire plot revolves around the schemes of an ambitious manager's personal assistant Sabrina, who feels that the alarm is ringing on her biological clock. She therefore decides to marry her boss, Zikmund. This sets off an avalanche of events which gradually engulfs all the players in the story, starting with Zikmund's artless partner, Viola and the pleasure seeking, ageing hippy and photographer, Bakchus, through to Adam's soundman naive Jarousek and his wife, the barmaid Messalina, on to the confused virgin Kristina, the cynical medical student and part-time prostitute - Kleopatra and surprisingly the apparently indestructible boheme and rocker Adam. In their various combinations our heroes hop in and out of the beds which will affect their lives in ways which they never could have believed. The nine different characters and their various needs and desires unleash onto the screen a story which initially seems like a comic farce, but which gradually runs chills down ones spine.
