A dark comedy about the sex life of a celibate middle-aged man, ''the playwright'', who rather enjoys a quiet moment in the local park. It is a good place to mentally sort his ideas - and is often frequented by pretty young ladies.

And, to be honest, his prostate needs all the support he can muster.
