About Instructions For Poligamy
A group of adults in contemporary Buenos Aires deal with sex, relationships and modern anxieties in a comedic frame that refuses to be prudish. The film follows overlapping lives that question how desire, technology and consumer habits shape intimacy, from pregnancies tied to lifestyle choices to online relationships and the use of sex toys as tools for personal discovery. Characters juggle pleasure, commitment and everyday responsibilities, and their interactions produce awkward, funny and reflective moments. The tone stays frank and light, leaning on situational humor and candid conversations rather than melodrama, and it keeps surprises confined to character dynamics rather than shock tactics.
Created by Gustavo Cornillón and Sebastián Sarquís, the 2019 Argentine comedy features Marcelo Mazzarello, Fabiana García Lago, Guillermo Pfening, Ana Pauls and Soledad García in key roles, bringing a theatrical cast feel to a small screen of intimate scenes and dialogue-driven setups.
No widely reported box office figures are available, which suggests the film had a limited theatrical presence rather than a mainstream international rollout. It appears aimed at local audiences and festival programmers interested in alternative adult comedies.
The movie contributed to a renewed conversation around adult comedy in Argentine cinema, challenging taboos about sex on screen and encouraging talk about pleasure, reproductive choices and digital intimacy. While it didn't create global catchphrases, it sparked debate among local viewers about how contemporary relationships are shown in homegrown films.
Critics and audiences who rated it tended to appreciate its honest tone and willingness to treat mature topics with humor, reflected in a solid average score from viewers. The film foregrounds themes like consumerist approaches to pregnancy, virtual affective links, and the tension between hedonism and responsibility, using comedy to open up discussion without moralizing.
