What is your favorite way to make love? You might feel too shy to answer, but after sixteen years of marriage, François and Julie decide that it’s time to put the shyness aside. Could sex with others bring back the passion that has faded? Could leather and a whip help solve the problems grown out of domestic life? Follies is the most naked comedy of the year that is not afraid to laugh at sex or to revel in it to truly be able to speak about… love.

Follies is a sincere, bold, and incredibly funny look at modern relationships. The director avoids moralizing and, with great empathy, allows us to observe characters who are simply trying to understand what they really want. It is a film in which naked bodies and situations do not provoke but help in the search for truth. It proves that the greatest intimacy is achieved not in bed, but in conversations where one dares to be open and vulnerable.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
