Finished

And God Created Sex

I bóg stworzyl seks

Directing: Konrad Szolajski

Synopsis

A story about father Ksawery Knotz, a charismatic Catholic monk and family counsellor. Open attitude towards sex is a significant part of his teachings. He publishes bestselling books and conducts marriage retreats dedicated to new and original concepts related to human sexuality. Over 20 years after the fall of the iron curtain, millions of people still declare to be Catholics and practice this religion in its most dogmatic version. Each Sunday temples are filled with believers taking part in religious ceremonies. These peoples’ lives are organized in accordance with religious practices. Polish Catholics have a new dilemma now - after the change of the political system their attitude towards life and especially towards sex started to become more “European”. Once puritans, they are now becoming hedonistic. And try to combine their sexuality and the dogmatic teaching of the Church, where most of what is pleasant is banned. The riddle seems to be insoluble.
