THANKS FOR SHARING

THANKS FOR SHARING
by Stuart Blumberg
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Duration: 110'


Three men grappling with personal anxiety and fear belong to a community that treats sex addiction. Adam is an environmental consultant, as impatient and nervous as he is frightened at the idea of getting involved in a relationship, even though he has been following the twelve-step program for five years. Mike, a family man and the mentor of the community, has to confront yet-unresolved family issues. Neil, a doctor, is the one who feels he needs the community the least, but instead he’s the one who will have to change the most.
