Liefde, erotiek en seksualiteit zijn universele thema’s. Toch zijn er grote culturele verschillen in de manier waarop mensen deze thema’s vormgeven in hun dagelijks leven, hun gebruiken, hun kunst en hun wetgeving.

Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ?
