Synopsis

In 1973, eleven people drifted across the Atlantic as a part of an experiment. They were studying the sociology of violence, aggression and sexual attraction. They did it on a raft. The project is known as 'The Sex Raft', but no one knows what happened on that three month trip. This film tells the story hidden behind the project, described as 'one of the strangest group experiments of all time.'
