Trailer

Plot summary

Harrad College runs an experiment in coed living. Philip Tenhausen, who founded the school, and his wife Margaret set up a curriculum in which male and female students share rooms and discuss sexuality openly, with the aim of loosening the hold of conventional monogamy. Four students take part: Stanley, who is eager for the arrangement; Sheila, his timid roommate; Harry, who is uneasy with the openness; and Beth, Harry's roommate, who is more liberated than he is. The experiment pairs students considered incompatible, so the shared rooms force each of the four to confront what they believe about desire and commitment. Philip also leads group discussions intended to break down societal taboos.
