What Is WR: Mysteries of the Organism About?

The premise of WR: Mysteries of the Organism without spoilers.

The controversial work, once deemed unshowable, probes the link between orgasmic energy and 1971 communist Yugoslavia. Countercultural director Dušan Makavejev merges documentary and fiction, beginning with an investigation of psychologist‑philosopher Wilhelm Reich before bursting into a free‑form tale of a young Slavic woman's sexual awakening.
