Synopsis
Marie's lover is the cool and unaffectionate Paul, who refuses to have sex with her and may be gay. She won't leave him, though, and rather decides on a masochistic sexual journey in which she sleeps with other men, while retaining her emotional connection to Paul. First there is Paolo, a stud with no character, then Robert, an older man into bondage. Eventually, Paul gets jealous enough to have sex with her again, but her subsequent pregnancy causes further humiliations for Marie.
