Do you need drugs to have ecstatic sex? The documentary F*CK DRUGS explores (group) sex under the influence of drugs, a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common among queer men. The film follows Davo (22), Anthony (35), and Erik (61) and shows how they explore and push their boundaries further and further within the world of chemsex. Is it about boundless pleasure and sexual freedom, or rather about inner emptiness and the fear of true intimacy in a time of individualism and increasing loneliness? The documentary examines the world of chemsex in a liberating, honest, and ecstatic, but also critical and confrontational way. In doing so, the film poses the question: is there a way back after sex under the influence of drugs?

"Finché morte non ci separi" is set in Paradise, where Delia (Carla Signoris) enjoys the peace of the afterlife reading and learning English. Her tranquility is disturbed by the arrival of Lidia (Amanda Sandrelli) who claims to be her soulmate. However, Delia is confused. If her soulmate is here, what happened to her husband Andrea? (Davide Gaudiosi). The Lost Souls office might be able to help her understand: the Angel (Filippo Scicchitano) in charge of the office gives her unexpected news—not only has Andrea been dead for quite some time, but he's in Hell. To convince Delia that this isn't a mistake, the Angel shows her her husband's "soul statement," and then, faced with her continued disbelief, allows her to revisit some scenes from her past as a young woman (Francesca Blasutig) with him. Delia chooses to take a risk by accepting the possibility the Angel offers her: to return to her previous life to try to rewrite her own story.
