FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions is a feature-lengthdystopian movie, written and directed byCarlos Atanes and released in 2004.
The film takes place in a vaguely futuristicdystopianmilieu of France where the oppressors are an all female group called the Sisterhood of Metacontrol. They bombard Paris with a steady stream of megaphoned announcements advocating a strict separation of the sexes. Men and women can, and do, live together, but touching is strictly forbidden. Both sexes are encouraged to not let the opposite sex influence their lives. Angeline, an exemplary and irreproachable citizen has just joined the Order but her relationship with a special man, Nono, makes her question profoundly the principles of the Doctrine.[1]
