Verbieten verboten
Released: September 11, 1988Runtime: 60 minLanguage: DE
Eight short episodes about the psychological and sexual hardships and joys of people in West Berlin at the time: two old-school bourgeois women chat with each other on the street, between the Theater des Westens and a peep show. A woman's session with her psychotherapist takes an unexpected turn. Two men spontaneously arrange to meet for a tête-à-tête, but are in for a surprise. A vagrant tells of her recent experiences and longings. Two young women become unprofessional while watching a porn movie. Two foreigners make a discovery while having sex with each other. A painter finds new inspiration in an unconventional way. Dieter Schidor and Ingrid Caven chat with each other on the street, between the Theater des Westens and a (former) peep show about sex in the age of AIDS.
