Married to the Eiffel Tower is a revealing film about a small number of women in the world who feel that loving objects in a romantic way is just another way of being normal. They call themselves objectum sexuals, a term which is now beginning to be accepted in psychological literature. They believe that objects have life and some form of independent consciousness and that they are therefore capable of communicating and loving you back. And yes, they are objects of their physical desire too. Objectum love differs from fetishism because in fetishism the object is still clearly connected to, and has traces of, a human relationship. An objectum sexual dreams only of her object when she dreams of love. She wants her body to become one with her object; it is only the shapes of their structures they yearn for – never human flesh. The pioneer of objectum sexuality is Eija Ritta Berliner Mauer, a Swedish woman who declared herself in love with the Berlin Wall more than 30 years ago and married him (yes, him and not it) in 1973. Naisho/Erica (36) from San Francisco, the main character in the film, got married to the Eiffel Tower. “There is a huge problem with being in love with a public object,” she says, “The issue of intimacy or rather lack of it, is forever present.“

Trapped by My Twin is a portrait of identical twins Liesbeth and Angelique. Emotionally, they have never quite separated. Now Liesbeth wants to leave but she worries what Angelique will do without her. The film takes an intimate look at the emotional complexity and depression that can arise from such a close, competitive – and loving – sibling relationship. Angelique gave up a career as a fashion designer, working for Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris, to be with her sister. She almost died from anorexia and was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Both sisters now follow a strict eating and exercise regime to prevent Angelique's return to anorexia. At 35 years old, neither sister has had a relationship with a man. But now Liesbeth meets a man on the internet, who she thinks could be her perfect partner. She wants to start her relationship with him alone, without Angelique but worries that, left alone, Angelique could commit suicide. With matters reaching a head, the sisters travel to London to meet a psychiatrist who specialises in both twin relationships and anorexia. But can she help resolve such established, deep-rooted issues?
