General
.Plot
The plot concerns actors and directors in the early 1930s who were unable to make the transition from silent films to talkies, and thus turned to making pornography. The film‘s title takes its name from the double meaning that `insert` both refers to a film technique and sexual intercourse. Inserts was filmed like a stage play on one set and filmed entirely in real time.
