Feature film version of the book by Ronald Giphart. Up-and-coming writing talent Erik spends his holiday in the French Dordogne, together with his friend Fräser. Erik has just submitted his manuscript to a publisher - a book about his first great love Reza - and is waiting for a response. Erik proceeds to tell the story to his holiday sweetheart. Fragments of flashbacks show how the well-regulated life of a callow law student with writing aspirations is abruptly disturbed when he meets the extravagant Reza. She makes him forget his respectable, frigid girlfriend and after a few passionate weeks, Erik is living together with her. But soon, the ardent Reza starts showing paranoid, almost demonic traits. She appears to be extremely jealous and mutilates herself because she is dissatisfied with the size of her breasts. The tempestuous relationship ends in drama.
