A story of two professors and their 17-year-old daughter, set in 1970, both parents are professors at a progressive campus. It's a story of how the sexual revolution affects all three of them.
The daughter loses her virginity to her boyfriend at a motel (09:04). Later, she overhears her mother having exuberant sex with a man in another room (10:54). We only hear the mother having sex and later see the mother exiting her boyfriend's car and kissing him (13:37).
The daughter tells her father (36:36), but he already knows all about it. See, his wife never had a chance to screw around when she was a young woman, so embracing her feminist liberation, the wife is now making up for lost time. The father is not happy about the wife and her boyfriend; the wife asks him if he wants her to end it... he tells her it's up to her, although he hates it (30:37). After catching her mother, the daughter hates her mother and treats her very coldly.
One of the reasons for the father's nonchalance is he's screwing one of his grad students. He's kept his affair secret from his wife and started the affair months before he and his wife opened their marriage.
The husband and his wife screw on the wife's birthday (55:55).
At this point, you'd have to describe their marriage as bad; lies, jealousy, and anger abound. Both talk privately about divorce. By opening their marriage, they've ruined it.
The wife's boyfriend visits the wife in her office at school. They make out (1:06:27), he wants more. Her polite 'no' turns into yelling and then pushing him, then throwing him away. He's not happy.
It turns out both husband and wife ended up treating their affair partners badly and breaks up with them badly.
The fun continues as the daughter is shot in the chest at the Kent State protest shootings. Through the stress of this, the wife dumps the husband.
There's an epilogue 3 years later; the daughter survives the shooting. The wife and husband are friends and have just started sleeping together again.
