Love Building

So what do I do? Say a couple of things about myself and...

Yes.

Camera rolling.

Stay still...

My name is Silviu Soare and I'm a sexologist.

I don't believe that relationships last for a lifetime.

Hello. My name is Cristian Lazurean

and I've been a couples therapist for 10 years.

My name is Valentin Preda.

I'm a group and personal development therapist.

Do you happen to have an Advil?

OK, here's how this sounds.

Once upon a time there was a very beautiful and very smart princess.

All princes loved her.

When she was old enough she found a prince and she fell in love with him, too.

They got married. And they lived happily ever after.

The end.

Come on! Let's get serious!

Anyway, that's not even the point:

if there is such a thing as relationships that last for a lifetime.

The point is: can they be fixed?

Yes. They can.

Relationship: 4 years 7 months Problem: money

Won't you cut it out?

Who was that?

Ana.

And why did you hang up?

I'll call her back.

Relationship: 8 years 3 months Problem: adultery

Yes, mommy, how are you?

No, we're still on the way, almost there.

Yes, we ate on the train.

Relationship: 2 years 7 months Problem: mother

Mommy, I'll call you later, OK?

It's 10 in the morning.

Relationship: 1 years 2 months Problem: alcohol

That's Gia. No, the porn chick.

Gia, show us something! Come on, we wanna see the real thing!

Relationship: 1 years 6 months Problem: job

Holy shit! That's hot!

Come on, Florin, we're gonna be really late.

Two seconds. This backlight is great!

-What's a backlight? -A light source. Stop moving, will you?

Relationship: 1 years 8 months Problem: incompatibility

Can't you just call it light?

Relationship: 17 years 2 months Problem: routine

Relationship: 3 months Problem: prejudice

Cut it out!

-Why? -Come on, cut it out!

I can't...

Relationship: 8 months Problem: sex

Let's pull over and... I'll take it out for you.

Bogdi, come on...

What? What did I say?

What do you mean he's got measles?

He hasn't got any measles. Who would he get them from?

5 years 7 months Baby

Maybe it's mosquito bites...

Then they must have bit him in several places.

Mom, I'll call you back. We're already there.

Relationship: 6 years 5 months Problem: Communication

MONDAY

We have 11 straight and 2 gay couples.

Lesbian gay.

2 cheatings, 7 incompatibilities, 1 routine, 1 impotence slash frigidity,

1 baby and the one who came by herself.

That's OK. I know. She paid for both places.

Why do you keep those on inside?

My head hurts.

When are those two coming?

-At the end. -And why are they coming?

I don't wanna hear this. They're coming because they have to come.

End of discussion.

And there's one more couple. New entry.

What do you mean?

I mean there is another application and we nicely add it to the rest.

-It's not nice at all. -And that's not how we decided to work.

There's no new entries.

Of course there is.

They paid, we cashed in, they're on their way.

You have until 6 to go through it.

Any other questions? 'Cause I have to run...

Yes, why are you always in a hurry, Silvia?

Because I have an intense and successful life, Silviu. Anything else?

I'll see you later. Big hug! 6 o'clock.

Maybe you should go sleep for a couple of hours.

Have some coffee, will you?

Dragos Cosmanescu. Adina Popa.

You can take it, no problem.

It will be really embarrassing if they make us all say why we're here.

Everyone will talk about their problem with their partner.

I'll talk about my problem with my partner's mother.

Andrea says it's abnormal

that your mother brings breakfast in bed when you're with your girlfriend.

Why is that so abnormal?

There's nothing abnormal about that. After all, she's my mom.

The problem is that he has no money.

And not that he has no money, but that he does nothing to get it.

Yes, I know that sounds like I'm a materialistic bitch.

You are.

Really? And do you think it's normal

that I pay for your drinks every time we go out?

Right. Every time.

I think in our case, it's just a lack of sync.

We met a bit too late.

Or too early.

Or too early.

And we need a little bit more time to get back into sync.

Sorry.

His wife.

Hello.

I say we know each other already.

We've read your files. You've surely googled us.

So let's get past the introduction.

Raise your hand, those who have a perfect sexual relationship.

OK.

Raise your hand, those who have never lied to their partner.

Never.

Good...

Raise your hand,

those who think they are always right in arguments with their partner.

We've been together for... For how long? For 4 years.

And one year ago, Alex was born.

-And since then. Actually a bit before... -The football player.

Oh, come on! "The football player," I was talking about something else.

He's obsessed that Alex becomes a football player.

That's our problem now. To make Alex a football player.

-But you never think to help to... -What did I say? I didn't say anything!

I said "football player" and look at her burst.

Of course I burst,

because all you've got in your head is how he's gonna play football.

We stopped having sex at home.

I don't want to either.

I mean, on set everything is fine, I think one can see that...

But when we get home, it's like... I don't know... It's something....

You know what I think?

It's like when you sit in the office all day and send hundreds of emails

and when you get home you don't feel like sending other emails,

turning on your computer...

You feel like watching a film, walking around... doing other things.

Raise your hands, those who remember their first date.

First kiss?

It used to be nice back then, right?

Good...

In the next 6 days, we will remember how it used to be.

The first kiss, the first date

the first secret we shared or didn't share... Whatever.

We need to ask ourselves one thing

why was it bad back then? Or why was it good?

Why was it good and then it was bad and then it was good again?

Now, it's just bad.

The logical question would be: can it be good again?

Our only problem is that all the time he wants to... you know...

All the time he wants to have sex.

Everywhere. At the mall, at the gym, at the cinema, in the park.

I also want to, but not all the time.

Sometimes I want to... I don't know...

to talk, to discuss things, to just watch a movie...

She wants to watch a movie, to walk, to cook...

OK. We cook.

We walk.

But for how long can you walk?

And how many films starring that Ryan guy can you watch?

I will explain the rules of the game.

The day starts at 7. It ends whenever you want.

The company we work with will take care of everything: food, drinks, cleaning.

All you need to do is focus on yourselves.

And of course, on my colleague Cristian's question.

I will now let my reputed colleague, Valentin Preda,

explain your obligations in the next 6 days.

Yes. Well... you'll do exactly what we tell you.

It's super cool.

Well... This waking up at 7 is a bit complicated...

It's like in the army.

I've actually never been in the army...

I think this is very stupid.

I thought it would be a bit more scientific.

It sounds good. I don't know what to say... We'll see.

I just hope they don't make us have group sex

by the end of the program or something...

It would be cool if the whole thing ended with a major orgy.

Or... Or at least if they made us swap partners.

Or... I don't know... Or not.

Are you shooting? Did you shoot that?

Can I borrow a cigarette?

When I drink beer I feel like smoking.

Listen...

Can I ask you something?

Shoot.

If you have sex with your cousin, is that incest?

Yes.

What degree?

I mean cousin of what degree?

Second, third. Who gives a fuck? Doesn't matter.

But you want it to be or not to be incest?

Monica.

What about her?

She had sex with her cousin.

Holy cow...

Did she tell you that?
