Based
on the classic erotic novel "Yvette" by Guy De Maupassant,
here is the story of Michelle De Winter who lives the good life, wining
and dining with only the richest men who are fortunate to cross her
path. Her daughter Yvette [always introduced as her 'niece' by Michelle]
is a fashion model. She is also a virgin. She's saving herself for marriage,
despite endorsing the free love generation lifestyle and living
with promiscuous hippie types. Yvette is dating Peter Von Hallstein
but remains chaste, thus risking her relationship. When mom gets involved
with rich psychologist Dr Fink, she asks for help in a scheme to get
Peter to propose to Yvette.
