CGiii Comment

In the summer of 1940 take the Nazis in France. For the French, life changes drastically. Also in the field of sex and love. Almost two million French soldiers taken prisoner. Their wives are on their own. Poverty and hunger are many on the streets, some even in prostitution, where German soldiers frequently use. In Paris, the night clubs flourish and some homosexuals openly worship the male Nazi image. In response, resistance associate homosexuality with treason again. With all its consequences. This documentary in the APOCALYPSE series shows how the German occupation in France led to prostitution, gay hate, illegitimate children and a humiliating settlement with women who shared the bed with Germans.


Amour et Sexe sous l’Occupation interroge le mystère brûlant des relations intimes hétérosexuelles et homosexuelles en temps de guerre… et nous montre combien la proximité avec la mort renforce l’aspiration à la passion, au plaisir, à la transgression comme dernier sursaut de liberté, au désir comme ultime appel à la vie. Près de 200 000 naissances seraient le fruit de l’union entre des femmes françaises et des soldat allemands. Les conquêtes allemandes n’étaient pas seulement féminines. Dans le Paris de l’Occupation rôdent toutes sortes d’homosexuels qui pactisent avec l’occupant, de Genêt à Cocteau. Le sort des tondues est la punition de la France qui s’est couchée et qui a couché avec l’ennemi.
