What it's about

Young and attractive woman Sylvia (Corinne Cartier) runs a successful fashion boutique and neglected by her husband Kurt.

First she has sex with her girlfriend's lover and then an affair with the businessman Jörg. She finally realizes that the total enjoyment of all sexual day and night dreams alone makes no one a free person.
