action
Anna Battista, a famous Italian erotic actress suffering from depression, tries to become a director by writing her own script. In the search for a producer, she is almost raped several times by them and gets deeper and deeper into a vortex of drugs, sex, daydreams and depression. That changes when she falls in love with Australian rock star Kirk Vaines and spends a night of love with him. He then has to return to Australia, but first confesses his love to Anna. Shortly thereafter, Anna found out that she was pregnant. Since she doesn't know how to deal with this situation, she first takes refuge in her world of parties and drugs before deciding on the child and a happy future with Kirk. Anna tries, in the seventh month of pregnancy, to bring this news to Kirk after one of his concerts, but is turned down by security because Kirk is on tour with his own family. Completely shocked and disillusioned, Anna wanders aimlessly around and finally collapses on a staircase.
