Can you fu*k to an irregular beat? Progressive Touch depicts three futuristic, absurdist love scenes in which the goal is to "improve" sex by complicating its rhythm and choreography. Sex as dance, as comedy. Enacted by three real life couples, the dancers' every explicit move is synchronized to the propulsive, unpredictable score.
