DramaDocumentary

Voor sommige getrouwde stellen is seks een obsessie die hun geloof in strikte monogamie overweldigt. Het vermogen om hun seksuele fantasieën uit te voeren is belangrijker dan het hooghouden van welke conventie dan ook over liefde of huwelijk. Sex with Strangers schetst een authentiek intiem portret van drie van zulke koppels, van de euforie van vervulde fantasieën tot de wanhoop van versplinterende relaties, en laat zien hoe hun leven diepgaand wordt beïnvloed door de levensstijl die ze leiden. James en Theresa, een stel van in de dertig, gebruiken hun camper als een plezierpaleis en reizen van club naar club om koppels te verleiden waar ze ook gaan. Calvin en Sarah denken erover om te trouwen als ze Julie ontmoeten, die niet swingt en niet biseksueel is - totdat ze verliefd wordt op Calvin. Psychodrama verdringt bijna seks voor Shannon en Gerard, die gepassioneerd zijn door swingen, ook al vragen ze zich af of de levensstijl echt wel iets voor hen is...
