    nice

    The obvious good intentions are the start point of this delicate but not so convincing drama about the fragile life between love and sexual desire, about the status of sauna and about the option real seductive under dark protection. The second good point is the cinematography. Not the last, the taste of ash of the end. Short - a nice film. Deserving be better.

    It had to end badly

    It's rarely a good idea to open a monogamous relationship to others, especially to anonymous cruisers as here in a gay sauna.

    The two protagonists' marriage had presumably gone stale, so they decided to go on an adventure to spice their life up. One of them was far less enthusiastic, which was not a good sign.

    One of the couple slopes off while the other follows a mystery man to a side room. There are rules here but in the end they are not obeyed.

    It's clear that jealousy rears its ugly head - one partner had a great time, the other didn't. We are left to wonder what happens to the couple once they get home.

    This isn't a great film nor a bad one. I could have, on balance, done without watching it.
