'' Young People Fucking '' ( distributed as '' YPF '' in US and UK markets ) is a 2008 Canadian sex comedy film directed by Martin Gero , who co-wrote it with Aaron Abrams . The film 's story is told in a linear fashion , alternating through a series of single-location vignettes connected by theme but with characters representing different archetypes . In each vignette , the characters try to have an evening of uncomplicated sex but are unable to separate sex from love . Gero and Abrams began development of the film in 2004 , and wrote the screenplay for six months in 2005 . Filming was done in Toronto over 19 days . The film , which contains scenes of simulated sex but no pornographic material , was at the centre of the Bill C-10 controversy that brought considerable publicity to the low-budget production , allowing it to have a relatively wide release in Canada for an independent film . The film debuted at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival ( TIFF ) . Although garnering mixed reviews , the film was recognized with multiple awards , including a near-sweep of the film categories at the Canadian Comedy Awards
