What drives people to have sex with complete strangers? That's the subject of this bold and insightful film, based on interviews with five men and women who describe the chance encounters that led to impulsive sex. Director Clio Barnard uses performers to lip-sync their recorded confessions, merging truth and fiction to explore sexuality and romantic memories. With Isla Fisher (The Great Gatsby).
