Shortbus
ComedyDramaRomance101 min
In early-2000s New York, a group of lonely, sexually restless strangers keeps circling the same problem: they want intimacy, but they do not know how to reach it. Their paths meet at Shortbus, a weekly Brooklyn salon where art, talk, music, and explicit sex mix in one crowded room. A couples counselor who has never had an orgasm, two partners testing the limits of their relationship, and other regulars bring their private frustrations into that space, where confessions quickly turn into entanglements. As friendships and affairs overlap, the film follows how these characters use sex, performance, and late-night conversation to search for connection.
