Plot

Thirty-five year old Elena works for a publishing house. She has chosen to live as a single woman after her long-lasting but unsatisfying relationship with Marco, a free-lance photographer, ended when she discovered him flirting with another man in a restaurant.
After a minor accident on a scooter she meets Adriana, a seductive young woman, and Ettore, an older man. Attracted to Adriana's unpredictability, which offers excitement and passion, and Ettore's calmness, which provides stability and security, Elena finds herself torn between the two and enters into a relationship with both in pursuit of love.

Production

Asked about the sex scene with Bruno Wolkowitch, Anna Foglietta said that it created some problems with their respective partners in real life. "In the scene Wolkowitch tears off my bra with enthusiasm and gropes my tits. Then he throws me on the bed and slips his hand under my skirt. After the 'cut', I was afraid I had done something bad because he, upset, kept calling his wife repeating: 'I love you, I love you'. It is never easy to make certain scenes, they can shake you a lot."
