Program Note

Matiass, who works as a church priest, and Juulia, a successful career-driven politician, form a couple who maintain their passionate love for each other and appear to be the epitome of a stable relationship. That is, until Matias is caught in infidelity. Juulia is engulfed in shock and betrayal, but after much contemplation, accepts Matias’ mistress, Enni, into their lives. Coincidentally, while seeking solace in a club, Juulia encounters the charming and youthful Miska, igniting in her a strange sense of liberation, longing, and love. Thus, the four adults begin on a polyamorous relationship. Through the portrayal of a priest engaging in adultery, and a seemingly conservative politician choosing a non-binary lover and falling in love, the film boldly and delightfully challenges the battered stereotypes of our society. The formation of this new community advises a sensational but wise suggestion to our society. Even though they seems a bunch of “immature adults”, at the beginning, turns out they are the true “adults” that we admire for today who can be confident and emotionally honest about their love and choices. (Kani KIM)
