What is going on in the heads of sperm?
The sperm that lives in the testicles of teenage Jens is getting prepared for their big day. The task is simple – shoot forward during ejaculation, fertilize the egg and reach nirvana. The opportunity presents itself surprisingly quickly when Jens gets together with Lisa. As they’re getting closer to having sex for the first time, feverish activity rises in the reproductive system. A ruthless race against time begins, in which every sperm has to fight for itself.
Get ready for a flood of animated sperm, teen humour and awkward situations from the sexual life of teenagers. Even though Spermageddon resembles mainstream animation for children, it is a comical film for adults with several musical numbers and a lot of inappropriate jokes which are nods to films such as Inside out or American Pie.
We invite you to the Norwegian animated comedy as part of the cycle #ReadNordicFilm.

#ReadNordicFilm
Book adaptations and biographiesof literary figures are very popular among Scandinavian filmmakers. A new series shows, among other things, how filmmakers approach these challenges. Screenings take place roughly every other month at the Edison Filmhub in Prague and several times a year also at the Art Cinema (Kino Art) in Brno, or in a virtual cinema. Through lecturers’ introductions, we present not only the film itself and its authors, but also the related book titles and place them in the context of Nordic literature and national cinema. In addition to highlighting books available in Czech, we also introduce the public to works that have not (yet) been translated.
The screening is organized by Scandinavian house in collaboration with Edison Filmhub Cinema and Art Cinema, distribution company Film Europe and with the financial support of the Czech Ministry of Culture, Prague City Hall and Norwegian Embassy in Prague.
