Cheating together. That is how people describe the phenomenon of ‘swinging’. But is that really the case? Anyone who opens a conversation about swinging immediately encounters many prejudices. Swingers? They have sex with anyone and everyone, in an unsafe atmosphere, with unsavory types and withered bodies. And their relationship? Things simply can't go well with that. Fueled by ignorance, people fill an unknown world with stigmatizing fantasies – and thus a taboo is perpetuated. A shame, because according to swingers themselves, things are very different. Driven by curiosity, they explore the boundaries of monogamy. Never alone, but always together. Once a year, monthly, or every week. On a sunny island, in a hotel, on the internet, at home, or in the club. Director Jesse Bleekemolen dives into the world of swingers. With a look of wonder, he meets various couples who engage in swinging and are willing to share their vulnerabilities.
