Milkaus Filmcafé: Chéri, ich komme! - Die Erfindung der Lust

MOVIE + CAKE + COFFEE (or tea) ONLY €9.40

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 ever 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’s 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 naturally 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 research, laugh, fail, argue, flee from the police, steal their daughter’s entire stash of drugs, and rediscover each other and their love entirely anew. Together, they develop an object that will make history.

Twenty years of marriage, a love that endures—and a secret that changes everything. Based on a true story, director Reem Kherici—an expert in French box-office hits—delivers a comedy smash hit that pulls off a real coup: eschewing vulgarity, *CHÉRI, I’M COMING!* —THE INVENTION OF PLEASURE tells the story of love’s renewing power with great sensitivity yet plenty of humor. A deeply moving and delightfully funny story about a great love that dares to ask questions—and a couple willing to find new answers.
