Das Experiment 770 - Gebären auf Befehl plot

"Procreation is the social duty of all fertile women!" In 1966, Ceausescu issued Decree 770, criminalizing abortion for all women unless they are over 40 or already have four children. All forms of contraception are banned. In 1969, the country had one million babies above the old average. Thousands of kindergartens were built in a hurry.Using captivating archival footage and fragments from old feature films, and by interviewing celebrities of the time - gynecologists and mothers who fit well into the new society - the director brings to life this period of great suppression of personal freedom .
