What do BDSM, dance and meditation have in common? Is the practice of violence in a controlled and friendly space an evolution in our civilization? VIOLENTLY HAPPY is a sensual and intimate experience, a film about a group of postmodern Berliners, looking for new ways of living, loving and experimenting with sexual fantasies. Felix Ruckert, dancer and choreographer, meets Mara Morgen, urban sustainability worker. Together with a group of like-minded people these reflective characters open the debate on experimenting with boundaries and projections - while dancing, meditating, at sex parties and in SM sessions.
Prepare for a sensual, romantic, postfeminist, full-frontal journey to a Berlin you have never seen before.
