Under the Franco dictatorship, Spain’s rigid censorship laws had repressed any form of sexuality outside of Catholic marriage. But following Franco’s death and the consolidation of democracy, ‘Clasificada S’ films – restricted to those over 18 years old – embodied a period in Spanish history when sex went from being a sin to becoming a cinematic expression of political freedom. This documentary explores the eye-opening history behind Clasificada S, and the distinctive shockers that subverted the values of the former dictatorship. Some sections in Spanish with English subtitles.

PARACINEMA SAYS: ‘This is a fascinating documentary that gets under the skin of a remarkable time in Spanish cinema, with a series of insightful talking heads to boot.’
