Synopsis by Nathan Southern
Spanish director Carlos Atanes's dystopian sci-fi drama FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions unfolds in a totalitarian Paris of the near future, ruled over by a matriarchal organization called 'The Sisterhood of Metacontrol.' This governing body forbids all physical interaction between genders to prevent contamination. Grossly dissatisfied with these rules and craving erotic contact, two rebels - new societal inductee Angeline W.R.S. (Anne-Céline Auché) and one of the Sisterhood's male servants, Nono (Xavier Tort) discover a sexual attraction to one another and slip off as refugees to one of the planet's remaining "sexual" areas, in the Pyrenees. En route, however, they find it increasingly difficult to evade detection and capture.
