Disability/Sex/Intimacy video

People who are dependent or have a disability are helped in all the basic everyday chores. Getting washed, dressing.... But one essential and constitutive aspect of human life seems to have been forgotten: sexuality. And yet like everyone else people with a disability have physical desires, a need to be loved, a need for sex and intimacy. In France there are currently few or no provisions to take these needs into account, whereas in countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Holland they have existed for many years. Our film challenges the preconceptions that being handicapped means no sex, no physical desire or love. In a series of hard-hitting, moving and surprisingly frank interviews, we learn of the needs and desires of people with a disability  across France. Also featured are interviews with other Europeans, to show that sexual help not only exists, but that it also can be made to work.
