This film is based on a story, by Guy de Maupassant, telling of a love gone cold. Florentine (Malu) believes that her husband Jake no longer loves her and so she seeks affection from secret affairs, both male and female. When she meets Dorothy she thinks she has found real love but unbeknownst to her, it is all a set-up. She is secretly being spied on by Jake. When Florentine discovers this, she realises that there is a way to win Jake back.
It seems the way of things in films that older men marry younger women and then find that they cannot do their husbandly duties. In this one, the husband can only get turned on by watching other men with his wife. Not only that, but it has got to be with lots of disco lighting. Quite what Guy De Maupassant would have made of that is a moot point. The sex scenes look rather tame considering that the director, Pasquale Fanetti has made stronger stuff. Perhaps there is a longer version out there. This UK DVD runs to only 80 minutes. This is not a film worth repeated viewing.
