A highly erotic, explicit and deeply introspective look at love, sex and relationships, seen through the eyes of Karl, a film director in his mid-forties, as he eases himself away from the movie business to retire to an idyllic cottage in France. His final project is to be a reality film of the most intimate moments between couples carefully selected to reveal a variety of desires and emotions. As the project takes shape, Karl starts to feel the aching void in his own love life, and finding love becomes his overriding desire.
