Compilation film with material from German sex education films of the 60s and 70s. A flood of such films started in cinemas at that time and the makers wanted to educate about sexuality and its possible dangers.
Production
Glorious 60s/70s aesthetic: beige, nervous, and deeply German.
Acting
Archive footage performers who clearly questioned their life choices.
Editing
Jarring compilation cuts that create accidental surrealist comedy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
These 'Aufklärungsfilme' were revolutionary for their time—West Germany's attempt to shed Nazi-era sexual repression through aggressive, almost bureaucratic openness.
Hans Giese, featured here, was a real sexologist who pioneered Germany's first university sex research institute in 1966.
