On a Tuesday night, five couples have separate sexual adventures. Matt and Kris, friends for years, want to have an only-once, no-strings good time. Abby and Andrew, married, celebrate his birthday, but it's marred by angst and miscommunication. Mia and Eric are exes, making sure they are over each other. Jaime and Ken work together and this is a first date. Inez and Gord invite his roommate, Dave, to join them. By the time each couple has gone through a prelude, foreplay, sex, an interlude, orgasm, and afterglow, they've answered basic questions: can sex be anonymous, are we bored, is our marriage really finished, does anyone tell the truth, and how do we make someone happy?

Amateurs

Dec 1, 2020

Krzysiek Biuro Rzeczy Osobistych Theater (created by intellectually disabled actors) is the winner of a festival, in which the prize is a performance in a professional theater. With great joy and expectations, Krzysiek and his actors are currently working on a new play "Zorba." It would be great to perform it on a real stage. It turns out, however, that the director of the theater, when offering them assistance, sets certain conditions, and when rehearsals begin, a few professional actors take part: Bartoszek - an aging actor, Olbińska - a former star who now plays lesser roles, and Wiktoria - a star who was acquired by the theater director.

Out of work actor Joe volunteers to help try and save his sister's local church for the community by putting on a Christmas production of Hamlet, somewhat against the advice of his agent Margaretta.

But although they all bring their own problems and foibles along, something bigger starts to emerge in the perhaps aptly named village of Hope.
