7 seX 7 is an erotic anthology film structured as a modern cinematic homage to Boccaccio’s Decameron. The film consists of seven distinct vignettes exploring human intimacy, desire, emotional boundaries, and unspoken tensions across a variety of dynamics—five heterosexual couples, one lesbian couple, and one gay couple.
Rather than focusing on explicit acts, each segment captures the psychological and verbal foreplay, wit, and vulnerability that drive human attraction. Designed around Aristotle’s classical principle of unity of time, place, and action, each of the seven stories unfolds in real time to reveal a surprising twist in the couple's relationship.
