The documentary consists of footage from 12 erotic documentary films from the
Sixties. A dynamic style of editing, sometimes almost hypnotic is accompanied by
contemporary music created especially for the documentary by the music composer
Federico Badaloni.
The voice over of the author blends in perfectly with the music and the footage,
showing a Sixties pop influence.
At the beginning it starts like this:
"Roland Barthes claimed that the real effect of striptease
was desexualizing women, a ritual that triggers the
idea of sex and at the same time is its catharsis. A sort
of strategy to reveal sex and then deactivate it. Before
being a proverbial seduction ritual, it is a form of exorcism
of sex in which a body generates an appetite but
then is devitalized"
