Verified Couple

Jamie Young and Nico Nice aka “Youngcouple9598” aka Andreea and Nico made a fortune as wholesome Verified Couple on porn websites. Now they live their dream under palm trees at the tax haven state Cyprus. But how does it look off the stage? Joscha Bongards Documentary starts off as a sex-positive portrait and turns into a multilayered exploration of love, shame, influence and success. Andreea and Nico are a couple and have been shooting porn together since 2018. When we first meet them, they are 22 and 25 years old. In Cyprus, they open the doors to their rented villa, which offers a dreary backdrop. The two present themselves as successful business people and future self-made millionaires who landed in the porn business with a simple Google search. During their porn shootings, Nico always takes care of the technical aspects and direction, and Andreea then takes care of the video editing.

The lucrative business demands personal sacrifices, especially from Andreea, for example in the form of terminated friendships and the long distance to her family. Porn is still socially stigmatized. Nico, is much more confident in his role as a pornstar and seems to be living his big dream.
