Het verloren geheim van Catharina de Grote

Short documentary, 2002, 52 min.

For centuries tales of Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great's wildly erotic exploits have fuelled our imaginations. But at the heart of the legends was a real room - a room crawling with images of carnal love. The furniture, paintings, sculptures, walls and ceilings were rampant with the most sensual depictions of sexual congress. Last seen by German soldiers in the winter of 1941, the room's exotic contents have vanished. Or have they?
Award-winning filmmaker Peter Woditsch takes us through both fire and war to follow the trail of lies, deception, art trafficking, greed and desire that circle one of the greatest collections of erotic art the world has ever known.
