Sense (also known as The Toilets at Carrington Station) is a rare 1972 softcore pornography/drama film starring Amalia Gerrit. The film was directed and produced by Anton Krychowiak and saw a very limited release before being promptly banned. Sense is considered the first feature-length pornographic film in Brunant.
Plot[]
Gerrit stars as Helena, a young woman frustrated with her strict upbringing, her friends' lack of understanding and her inability to have a boyfriend for more than a few days. While at Carrington Station, she is mistaken by a man to be a prostitute who asks for her services and she casually has sex with him in the toilets at the station, feeling liberated by finally experiencing sex.
She casually comments on her experience to people, but is often looked down upon for speaking so liberally about sex, a subject heavily considered taboo in 1970s Brunant. She goes to a church to confess and wonders if God could be a way to answer her questions on her newfound sexuality, but her highly descriptive penitence just ends up arousing the priest and she promptly leaves. Her quest for sexual balance and freedom ends when she meets a half-dressed German rocker who tells her of a nudist colony in the mountains he has just joined, and after a quick lovemaking session in the back of his Volkswagen proceed to the colony, where she is able to open up about sex without being looked down upon.
Production and release[]
Sense involved unsimulated sex scenes on two occasions, performed by Gerrit and her male counterparts, making them the first Brunanter "porn stars". Much of those scenes were cut down and edited to be milder, but the editing was bad and thus certain more graphic moments could be briefly seen.
It was released in early May 1972, initially at private events and later at a cinema in Carrington. The film was promptly banned and most of the copies went missing. Cristove Vianna owned a copy and he was inspired by this to make Me, You and Him in 1974.
No digital copy exists and there are less than 10 copies ever made.
