Ever since her first sexual encounter at age 15, middle-class Barcelona Frenchwoman Valére (Belén Fabra) has reveled in her exploits and, at her grandmother’s urging, begins writing about them in her diary in director Christian Molina's lush erotic escapade. After losing her job, Valére meets an older man and believes she has found true love. But when he turns out be a disappointment, Valére indulges her love of pleasure by working in a brothel.
