This portrait of Gina Lollobrigida, then at the height of all her erotic glory, becomes a pretext for digressions and experiments with time and space. The film was rediscovered in 1986, in film depositary, abandoned there by the lost-and-found service of a large Parisian hotel. It was then screened at the Venice Film Festival in the presence of the actress. Furious at the result, she had all further screenings forbidden.
