Characteristics:

"Dilemma" aims to captivate audiences with its starting puzzle, hidden under the neutral label of "consensual sex." The solution to a practical life situation is not approached by trained experts but by those who unexpectedly find themselves in it.

Slovakia faces conservative attitudes, including the removal of contraception from school curriculum and ongoing debates about women´s autonomy. Our Slovak society is not yet as proficient in this topic, and we believe that a film on this subject would educate people on how non-consensual sex can look like. It is not just about brutal and violent rape by a stranger, but also about taking advantage of a situation when a person is unable to give consent or is afraid to say no.
