Footage from 12 erotic documentary films of the Sixties. A dynamic style of editing, sometimes almost hypnotic, is accompanied by contemporary music composed for the film. The rhythm of the editing is fragmented with the author's voice over quoting texts by Roland Barthes. The documentary takes us on a journey delving into the world of strip-tease, evoking desire and sex in the Sixties nightlife. Through interviews with critics and producers we understand the relationship between media and the representation of women. A therapist explains the work she undertakes in psycho-theatre groups on the use of a woman's body and a well-known burlesque performer expresses her art.
