What Women Want… and Men Too – Watch the Trailer for “The Ikea Generation”

“The Ikea Generation” is a bold story about the sexuality and desires of today’s young adults, who find it easier to compare numbers of sexual partners than to admit they need love. This adaptation of Piotr C.’s much-talked-about, controversial book is a film for everyone who has had at least one taste of dating. The trailer is now online. Directed by Dawid Gral. In cinemas from 3 March.

QUICK SEX HAS NEVER BEEN MORE EASILY AVAILABLE

“The Ikea Generation” is a story about dating, sex – and love. Its erotic scenes are not mere embellishments – the filmmakers talk about the sexuality and lives of today’s young adults with courage and honesty. “The Ikea Generation” is an extremely funny, emotional and surprising film that will take viewers on a journey through the unfamiliar, contradiction-filled territory of modern young adulthood. It shows the world we live in without prudishness and from a perspective full of the ironic humour and sharp commentary well known to fans of the “Pokolenie Ikea” book and blog by Piotr C.

– There will be sparkling dialogue, a Warsaw full of high-rises and fast-moving feelings, nights with no strings attached, and in them beautiful women and cynical men (or at least one cynic) – Piotr C. writes about the film on his blog. – I am convinced that the phenomenon I described in “Pokolenie Ikea” is not just still relevant. It is even more relevant now than it was back then. – he adds.

THE IKEA GENERATION

Release date: 03.03.2023

genre: romance / comedy

SYNOPSIS:

Piotr Czarny is a charming thirty-something lawyer. He is forever chasing adrenaline, women and parties. He has set himself the goal of filling his list of lovers with a name for every letter of the alphabet. His plan is thrown into doubt when his work colleague Olga – the only woman he is completely honest with and does not sleep with – gives him an ultimatum.

Following this cynical, hedonistic protagonist, we plunge into a world of casual sex, quick dates and one-night stands served up by online apps. The film paints an unprudish portrait of people whom easy access to goods has taught that everything can be replaced cheaply and without a second thought – a computer, furniture, a flat, even a relationship.
