Instructions For Poligamy

Instructions for Polygamy addresses adult comedy from taboos and current themes: Pregnancy as a product of consumption, virtual links as affective delivery, sex toys as a possibility of exploring one's own enjoyment; plus tensions between hedonism, responsibility or individual interaction, marriage. And between these tugs arises the entanglement. Adult comedy entertains, opens debate, proposes refection. However, with some exceptions, it has long been completely absent from Argentine Cinema
