Synopsis
As Oswalt Kolle, a celebrated German columnist and marriage counselor, discusses the effects of sexual repression in marriage with two university professors, their exchange is illustrated by sequences depicting how the sexual development of the child is influenced by the repressions of a puritan society. Two dramatizations then demonstrate how unenlightened children often become unhappily married adults: After 6 months of marriage, Petra confesses to her husband, Thomas, that she has been unable to attain sexual satisfaction. Thomas' pride is hurt, and an argument ensues, but the couple are eventually able to examine their sexual inhibitions and hidden fears, enabling them to achieve mutual sexual satisfaction. Claudia and Martin, married 7 years, the parents of two children, face problems in their marriage stemming from Martin's preoccupation with his business and his neglect of Claudia's sexual needs. Claudia's frustration is expressed in a dream of self-gratification, and she blurts out her unhappiness to Martin in a moment of despair. Their sexual problems are resolved as Martin cancels his business plans and takes Claudia to the country hotel where they spent their first night together.
