For several years, the Brazilian directors Paula Sacchetta and Renan Flumian have been exploring the topic of sexuality, with a short film documenting the sex lives of older people, which became a five-part series on a major streaming network in Brazil. The directors were struck by how taboo the subject of sex remains within families. This lost opportunity for intimacy saddened them.
You can change the quality of a relationship by listening to what people need to tell you, Mr. Flumian said. Listening is not only what you want to hear about or don't want to hear about. Across all strong friendships and relationships, you need to be able to say hard things.
When you think of family, you think about being really close to someone, Ms. Sacchetta said. But often, people that should be very close are actually far away. You are more likely to talk about sex with strangers.
