Double Life. Sex and the USSR

What happens between people in a totalitarian regime when the attitude towards sex changes from absolute permissiveness to absolute denial? Through irony, humour and tragedy-filled stories, documentary ‘Double Life. Sex and the USSR’ juxtaposes the real life of the people and the false reality the Communist Party and its leaders tried to impose on the masses of working people revealing the dominant double standard amongst authorities where elites were free to do anything while ordinary citizens were convinced that having sex is obscene and even thinking about it is an embarrassment.
Unique testimonies of the double life in the Soviet period, secret diaries and real human stories about their life in a country that did not officially speak about sex.
