With “Chéri, ich komme“, a new French film inspired by the true story behind Womanizer, conversations around intimacy, pleasure and female sexuality are making their way onto the big screen. Based on the true story of a German couple, Brigitte and Michael Lenke. Blending comedy, romance and real-life inspiration, the movie tells the story of a married couple whose relationship takes an unexpected turn when a long-hidden truth comes to light – setting off a journey that is both personal and surprisingly transformative. While fictionalised, the film is inspired by the origins of Womanizer and the invention that would later help reshape conversations around female pleasure and sexual wellness worldwide.
