How to order

Slaving over a hot forge makes young Czech metalworkers horny. In case you miss the point, an English-speaking narrator chimes in from time to time with explanatory notes like "When the factory shuts down, the guys always immediately start stroking their cocks." The cast, a parade of fresh faces, lithe bodies, and perky, uncircumcised penises, is headed by delectable Adam Kubrick, who appears in three scenes and a few transitional bits. Dark-haired, good-humored Gareth Bates, and Kurt Bannerman, a happy puppy with piercings in his tongue and left eyebrow, also stand out.

The other five hard-working models are attractive, but their lust for one another doesn't carry much conviction. It's as if Alain Eclair, the director, told them, "Thrust and moan, moan and thrust, and you'll be splendid." There's no story, although two of the half-dozen sex scenes involve supervisor Hans Hoffman expropriating workers for sex. (This factory lacks a sexual harassment code.) The models are at their most appealing during relaxed, improvised moments, notably a break where four employees munch on snacks and kid around, and a seemingly spontaneous after-work circle jerk. The latter promises to erupt into something special, and then is cut short to make way for one more mechanical twosome. For the record, the obligatory Tribal Pulse Productions oral cumshot is dispensed with in the opening segment.
