No water and no sex in Absurdistan

A top German film director has told RT about the making of his acclaimed movie, ‘Absurdistan’. Veit Helmer’s allegorical comedy tells the story of a tiny village inhabited by just 14 families between Asia and Europe.
Life is strange in Absurdistan. There are only two pressing problems – a chronic lack of water and lazy men. As the battle of the sexes breaks out, the main slogan adopted by the women becomes: “No water – no sex!”
Helmer’s picture features two childhood sweethearts who seem destined for one another, but the sex strike threatens the young couple's first night of love.
