Filmgespräch: Chéri, ich komme! - Die Erfindung der Lust

Frankfurt Premiere in cooperation with the German-French Society 

In the presence of actress Delphine Baril, followed by a discussion about the film 

Screening in the original French version with German subtitles 

Fanny and Tom have been happily married for over 20 years. Tom, an engineer with a passion for perfectionism, loves nothing more than tinkering with inventions. But neither his glow-in-the-dark slippers nor the credit card wheel of fortune have made it to the prototype stage. The family’s bank account is empty, and the house—including his beloved workshop—is set to be sold. Things could be going better overall when one day Fanny confides a secret to him: she has never had an orgasm in her life. Inspired by her extremely dedicated sex therapist, she now wants to change that urgently and start training accordingly. Tom is shocked, but what follows isn’t a crisis—it’s a pact. The engineer, of course, takes the matter personally—and literally. He wants to develop a device that celebrates female pleasure. But to do that, he needs his wife to set the direction. What begins as an absurd idea turns into an adventurous expedition by two accomplices on a mission for libido: Fanny and Tom explore, laugh, fail, argue, flee from the police, steal their daughter’s entire stash of drugs, and rediscover each other and their love. Together, they develop an object that will make history. (Source: Distributor)
