Plots(1)

A dystopia taking a humorous look into the near future, where the over-regulation of society will lead to unexpected consequences in everyday human relationships. Karl and Carla are young, successful people. They are nice, confident, stylish. The flowers of life, meeting one evening in the Meeting Place Lounge. After a quick acquaintance, they decide to spend the night at her apartment. They enter a written contract that gives them the right to perform sexual intercourse that night, stating the precise ways for it. Regrettably, Karl starts to like Carla. But then it all turns out to be a social advertisement commissioned by the Institute of Happiness. And in professional communication, there is no place at all for any deeper human connection or liking. The commercial will have to be remade. Yet the people behind the curtains will still live just like their nature guides them. And humans can’t resist their nature. (Estonian Film Institute)
