This selection of erotic films challenges stereotypes about the chastity of Ukrainian animation. The first but rather modest scenes of passion were present in the full-length animation Aeneid (1991), created by Volodymyr Dakhno at the Ukranimafilm studio. However, the interest in intimacy at the state studio ended the following year after the films Love Story and ...We are men! But the baton was taken over by the authors at the private studios Borysfen and Magika-Film. Thus, Vadym Tyuriaev's latest film LSD (1994) uses the techniques of body horror, aesthetically referring to the images of H.R. Giger. Over the last ten years, works addressing female sexuality and queerness have appeared in Ukrainian animation. This program could be closed chronologically by this year's animation Deep Water, which participates in the National Competition. However, the emotional finale of the selection is an old hooligan clip by Mykyta Lyskov, in which explosive video completely destroys all possible lustful subtexts.

Poetic, but a tough story of how feelings morph: in the middle of parties, brutal talks, lovers, and mistresses. A story of a passion, which sometimes replaces the feelings, of a habit that is sometimes more powerful than desire and of the most significant, which always remains in a secret place in the heart.
