Love Machine

Lyric porn film. Director Pavel Ruminov wanted to break up with his girlfriend. But she had a differ-ent opinion on the matter and refused to leave the flat, insisting their story was not over yet. A year later the couple decides to reconstruct the story and shoot a semi-documentary in the style of the French Wave. However, during the process Pavel turns into his alter ego Gerald, who for years has been quite unhappy about Pavel's work and has always dreamt of creating a proper film which will "depict the funny and tender sides of sex", while "sex itself becomes the last safe harbour for a human soul".
