Anna (a beautiful and melancholic Florence Guérin) is a wife abandoned by a husband fully dedicated to his work as a lawyer. The family, which also includes his mother (an unpleasant old woman who only knows how to speak reproachfully), is well-off and has a maid named Angela (the sexy Trine Michelsen) who, little by little, gains Anna's trust by attending to her most intimate tasks. This circumstance, and the fact that Angela is frequently visited by her military boyfriend in the house to secretly grope her, under Anne's covert observation, leads the two women to share their fantasies and amorous anecdotes while they caress each other in the intimacy of the bedroom. Anna's sexual frustration, compared to her maid's supposed experience, is so overwhelming that she decides to seek out on the street what she doesn't receive at home from her husband. Thus, Anna forces a casual sexual encounter with a middle-aged man who enjoys her in her own car, while Angela, more cunning and unorthodox than she seems, plans how to satisfy Anna's needs by inviting a stranger to possess her in front of her. The game eventually turns into a drama, but also into a life lesson.
Without being a great cinematic work, it's clear that Salvatore Samperi intended nothing more than what is clearly shown: an erotic story, gently lesbian, and more explicitly heterosexual, that only attempts to navigate the recurring plot of the sexually abandoned wife, who seeks outside the home what she should have inside (pun intended). Let's not try to find metaphors or literary paradoxes; this is a simple film that will please anyone who enjoys the natural and unashamed presence of two nymphs of softcore cinema of the era: Florence Guérin and Trine Michelsen. The rest is there to waste film.
