Synopsis

The main line of the movie is comprised by a story of the first ever Sex shop in Slovakia. Karol Raffay had started his own business after the November revolution in 1989. He and his family sex-business as well as democracy in Slovakia basically
undergo the same process and the movie is finding the parallels between these two.It tells a story of the shop, its customers, sexual history of the country with big volition and small self-confidence. It shows sexual life of Slovaks against a background
of social, political and other changes. Slovak citizens can vote in free democratic elections for the first time, they can walk into a legal Sex shop for the first time as well. The situation is the same as in the postcomunist countries in the Europe. Both
freedoms cause them problems.
