The fictional narrative, made in the style of an early 20th century [[morality play]], is based on ''Red Love'' (1927), a novel by [[Alexandra Kollontai]], a feminist writer who was the first Soviet ambassador to [[Norway]]. It tells the story of a young woman Vassilissa (Sascha Hammer) who breaks with her early ideals to enter into a conventional bourgeois marriage and learns how to stand up to her womanizing husband (Mark Eins).

The second part is a documentary about Helga Goetze, a West German woman in her fifties, who after thirty years of a sexually boring marriage, left her husband and their seven children to join the [[Otto Muehl]] [[Aktionsanalytische Organisation|Commune]] in [[Vienna]] in order to live a life of sexual freedom. She became radicalized and oversexed claiming that all she wants to do is to have sex. While advocating for sexual liberation, she holds outrageous sexual ideas.<ref>[http://www.yahoo.com/movies/film/red-love/ ''Red Love'' at YahooMovies.com] Retrieved 2014-09-28</ref> <ref name = "Murray 108">Murray, ''Images in the Dark'', p. 108</ref>
