Vintage Polish Posters | Seksmisja | Sex Mission Movie

Sex Mission is a 1984 cult comedy, science fiction, action film about two scientists that are placed in hibernation, to be awakened after three years. But when they wake up, it turns out that it has been fifty years, and they are the only two males left in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women. It contains hidden political satire specific to the time and place of its production but still relevant today, that is, satire directed at inter-gender conflict, the socialist-feminist system, and/or totalitarianism.
