SYNOPSIS
Just before her birthday dinner, Lisa discovers that her partner, Noah, has a fleshlight that he has kept hidden from her. After bringing up her discovery, the conflict soon emerges as their friends get involved. The situation escalates into a heated argument that turns out to be more about the couple's relationship than anything else.
THE DIRECTOR
Gustav A. Lilliehorn is a young and promising director who started making movies as a kid in his family's backyard.
He received the prestigious Crazy Pictures award during film school, and after interning as an assistant editor, he realized directing was more than just a hobby.
Gustav's style lies in always infusing fresh twists into his films, where his visually-driven style ensures storytelling that pops with originality and vibrancy.
DIRECTOR'S VISION
"Lisa and Noah are struggling with a stagnant sex life but find it difficult to talk about it. We learn that it's been going on for a while, and we meet them on this critical evening when Lisa discovers Noah's secret sex toy. Fleshlight raises questions about sex toys, their differences and implications.
By presenting different arguments and opinions without taking a clear moral stance or providing an answer, I want to leave it up to the viewers to decide who is right or wrong and why. Through the use of comedy, I aim to create an entertaining film experience that sparks new thoughts about sex, norms, relationships while encouraging more people to open up and talk about it."
