Summaries

Two conventional married couples are invited to spend the weekend in the house of their friend Daniel. The meal runs pleasantly until Daniel throws the apple of discord: are you still happy together? Wouldn't you profit from some adventurousness? Did you really choose for this life or was it merely programmed from the start? What's wrong about an open relationship? What follows is a recognizable and amusing discussion where all the layers that characterize the deconstruction of monogamy are expressed: fear and desire, awkwardness and curiosity. The tension becomes explosive when the attractive and provocative Alexandra and Jacobo join the meal and announce their intention to have an orgy all together.—Arturo Prins

Synopsis

Two married couples have been invited over by Daniel, a middle aged writer and beekeeper, to spend a weekend at his farm. Things run amiably and smoothly over lunch. Married couples are composed of a mediocre lawyer Esteban and his frustrated wife Natalia, and a perfectionist engineer Francis and his beautiful young and inquisitive wife, Paola. Another couple, friends of Daniel's, joins them later for lunch: a brilliant and famous international actress, Alexandra, with his handsome and mysterious companion Jacobo. To their surprise and dismay, the two couples realize that Jacobo, Alexandra and Daniel form a loving threesome or throuple. Once they get used to the idea, however, Alexandra provocatively reveals Daniel's plans for them: his invitation was aimed at enjoying a special gift from the three of them: an orgy centered in his beloved new girlfriend and actress. The peaceful lunch then becomes a devastating earthquake for both married couples.

Everyone likes to be happy. The couple is one of the ways to be, but what would happen if the couple as we know it, could make us even happier? Wouldn't it be logical to find out if the relationships we maintain could make us happier and fuller? STATE OF IMPURITY enters into this question. If on one hand it is true that the couple gives happiness on the other brings many headaches. One must wonder if it is not a contradiction, why it happens and if there is a way to avoid the pain that comes with wanting. STATE OF IMPURITY is a film that speaks with simplicity and honesty of current relationships, their problems, their blind spots, pointing to a reflection with its unexpected ending. STATE OF IMPURITY is an indie feature film that addresses one of the most feared and exciting facets of what a couple means today. We believe that it is a hot topic and very trendy in today's society, and that it could be of great interest to the audience, because it speaks of two big social taboos, the orgy and the consensual polygamy, and demonstrate that many people keep the desire in the closet, repressing it or giving it free rein, but ultimately hiding it, and acting with hypocrisy.
