Part documentary and part fictional film, this effort looks primarily at the importance of free love in a communist society. In the documentary portion, we learn of the life of Dr. Wilhelm Reich who promoted the view that free love was an essential element in a so called classless communist society. Openly communist when it was not safe to be so (he died in the U.S. in 1957) Reich is depicted as a victim of society whose ideas were repressed by the courts and who was generally viewed as someone who was mentally ill. In the fictional portion of the film, the characters endlessly debate Reich views.
