action
Emmanuelle travels to Thailand to see her husband Jean , who is a diplomat there. She tries to escape the emerging boredom and her sexual inexperience through erotic adventures with friends. Among other things, she meets the archaeologist Bee and spends a few days and nights with her. She falls in love with Bee within a short time, but the love is not returned and Emmanuelle returns disappointed to her husband.

Through philosophical instruction about the nature of sexual liberation and various, sometimes bizarre sexual experiences (Emmanuelle is raped in an opium den and offered as a prize for the winner in a Thai boxing fight ), Emmanuelle breaks through her limits, in the end she is considered to have matured, adult woman depicted.
Reviews
“A sex film in a craft staging that misuses the misery of Bangkok as exotic accessories and hides its real intention behind pseudo-philosophical effusions. The solid camera work and the good cast alone distinguish it from the majority of the genre. "
“'Emanuela' is the product of a corrupt male fantasy. few clichés about women are missing. in addition, the film is not only sexist - women are in fact only objects - but also racist [...] that the action takes place in the far east is certainly no coincidence. With the admission ticket we buy an advertising brochure for the increasingly popular (gentlemen's) trips to the open world of a developing country in the far east, where women are always available. "
“This film, announced as a 'film hit from France', is nothing more than a boutique porn inflated with craft aestheticism and pseudo-philosophical sayings ('love is the addiction to physical pleasure'). He constantly tries to distract from his mendacity and stupidity with beautiful shots. "
