Laura
is a fashion model - glamorous yet subservient - who is bullied and
physically abused by her photographer husband Carlo. They go to Egypt
for a photo shoot and to visit Laura's wealthy friend Crystal. While
staying at the palatial home, Laura befriends Crystal's free-spirited
daughter, Pina. The two fall under the charismatic spell of Horatio,
a shifty quasi-religious guru who introduces them to free love and beyond...

Rondi had long worked with Federico Fellini. He collaborated on that
director's most famous movies: 8½, La Dolce Vita,
Juliet of the Spirits, et al) before venturing off on
his own. Brunello helmed numerous films over the next 15 years, including
this one, plus YOUR

PROSSENETI [The Pimps], before dying from a heart attack in
November 1989 at age 64.
