Spermageddon

In this colourful, hilarious and gleefully outrageous animated musical, an awkward teenager navigates losing his virginity – while, at the same time, inside his scrotum, millions of sperm prepare to embark on the ultimate adventure. Jens has never shown much interest in girls before, but when he meets Lisa on a weekend away, that all changes. As hormones start firing, nerdy Simen and his best friend Cumilla prepare to graduate from sperm school equipped with a limited knowledge of the human body and one clear objective: be the first to reach that egg. SPERMAGEDDON is a wild original, a coming of age story told from an angle you’ve never seen before. Yet it’s not all grossout provocation: behind the filthy puns, fiendishly catchy songs and inventive sight gags lies a winning pro-sex, pro-choice message, which might be just the tonic for our trying times.
