The film follows Elisabeth, a beautiful, affluent young woman living in early 1970s France. She appears to have everything: money, lovers, freedom.

The tension between what we see (glossy, voyeuristic sex scenes) and what we hear (a woman’s pain) makes the film more complex than pure exploitation.

The acting is melodramatic, typical of 1970s softcore. But Sandra Julien’s performance stands out — she reportedly did many of her own stunts and insisted on writing some diary monologues.
