After Poland banned his previous film, Żuławski took his next provocation to France. Romy Schneider plays an actress stuck in cheap softcore pictures and Fabio Testi the photographer who borrows money to buy her a real role at last, in a melodrama that won’t play by the usual rules.
A photographer walks onto the set of a cheap porn film and finds the actress Nadine in tears. To give her a role worthy of her at last, he borrows a large sum from a loan shark and puts on “Richard III”. They fall in love, but Nadine is also married to the man who once got her out of trouble.
