MY PARTNERS + Panel Talks
Minu kallimad
Termine
Tender, spontaneous, and unafraid of complexity, My Partners is not just about sex or freedom—it's
about vulnerability, communication, and the openness required to rewrite the rules of love.
Kay
and Beate, a German couple in their fifties, decide to open their relationship to polyamory after 30 years of Christian marriage—attending
sex-positive events, visiting a poly-friendly therapist, and engaging in intimate connections across Europe.
In Estonia, the legacy of the Soviet era and a conservative political climate make it difficult to break away from traditional family structures. For Marianne, meeting Kay becomes a liberating experience; for her husband, it triggers a crisis that leads to hospitalization for anxiety.
Riita and Taavi, after ten years of an on-and-off relationship, hope that forming connections with other partners will reignite their own bond. With the guidance of a therapist, they begin their journey with a clearly defined agreement on rules and boundaries.
There will be talks held in english after some screenings with the following speakers:
