    Synopsis:
    In 1948, Alfred Kinsey (Liam Neeson), a college professor at Indiana University, published his study `Sexual Behaviour In The Human Male`. The report was the result of years of research by Kinsey and his team of interviewers questioning thousands of people about their sexual attitudes and behaviour. The USA was never the same again. Before the study was published, many believed that masturbation would make you go blind or insane, that homosexuality was an extremely rare sexual deviation and that sex only took place within marriage.
    Most people in mid-1940s America simply didn`t talk about their sex lives… let alone ask questions about them. Kinsey`s research blew all these misconceptions out of the water, and his book became a best seller, sparking a debate that still rages today. However, he was not without his critics, and became a target for Congressional witch-hunters. During the course of his research, Kinsey began to question his own sexuality, and when propositioned by his co-researcher Clyde (Peter Sarsgaard), he has an important decision to make. His wife Clara (Laura Linney) must come to terms with the possibility that her husband is not the person she thought he was.
