New Showbiz Analysis

The film stands out as a departure from traditional conservative domesticity, using exploitation cinema clichés to explore non-traditional social structures. It disrupts gender hierarchies by presenting characters who act independently of traditional roles. However, the film's exploration of non-normative sexualities often serves erotic purposes rather than providing substantial character development. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity limits its broader scope. Ultimately, the film's strength lies in its moral relativism, which prioritizes subjective experience over the rigid social and religious norms of mainstream 1970s cinema.

Official Synopsis

A pair of sexy bisexual nurses live in an apartment building, one floor up from a middle-aged couple and their son Albert, who is busy putting his new science project—a periscope—to good use by spying on the lingerie-wearing lovelies. Meanwhile, Albert’s mother is being even naughtier than her precious boy, sneaking off for some extra-marital action while her hair-obsessed husband is at the salon, having his follicles tended to. There are multiple versions of this movie - the original softcore version as well as a harder one with inserts of intimate close-ups performed by body-doubles.
