O filmu
Spolna asistenca za ljudi s posebnimi potrebami je v drugih državah že uveljavljen koncept, vendar se na Češkemz njim šele začenjajo spoznavati. Dokumentaristka Dagmar Smržová se približa omenjeni tematiki v stilu, ki spominja na filme Erika Hníková. Izbrala je tri hendikepirane moške in eno izučeno spolno asistentko ter se jim odločila slediti v njihovih vsakdanjih situacijah in se z njimi pogovarjati. Film se ukvarja s pomembnimi socialnimi vprašanji, ki jih javnost ignorira ali pa se ji zdijo preveč sporne. Predvsem pa omogoča intimen vpogled v življenja ljudi s posebnimi potrebami.
“…ne moremo izbirati, ali se bomo rodili lepi ali malo manj lepi, močni ali šibki, zato bi morali pomagati drug drugemu pri stvareh, ki jih zmore en, drug pa ne – vključno z ljubljenjem…”

Synopsis
In other countries, sexual assistance for disabled people is an established concept, but it is only just getting started in the Czech Republic. Documentarian Dagmar Smržová approaches the subject in a style reminiscent of the films of Erika Hníková. She has chosen three handicapped men and one trained sexual assistant, and follows them in everyday situations, casually asking them various questions. The film explores a subject that, although it is a serious social issue, the public has either ignored or finds controversial. Above all, however, she offers a sensitive look at the intimate lives of people living with disabilities.
“… we cannot choose whether we are born good looking or not so good looking, strong or weak and that’s why we should reach out and help each other with things one can and the other can’t do – including making love…”
