Innocence meets Italian farce as Gloria Guida navigates a houseful of amorous eccentrics.
AU PAIR GIRL
Domenica Schlutzer is a young innocent girl who works as an au pair in a large house with a fair diversity of inhabitants. However, they all have one thing in common: they would like to end up in bed at Domenica. They are therefore frantically trying to achieve this. This creates comic entanglements, because Domenica doesn't notice anything.
Proof that in 1970s Italy, even the au pair gig came with a side of farce and innuendo.
Gloria Guida stars as the blissfully naïve Domenica, dropped into a den of scheming tenants and libidinous landlords. If you think you’ve seen every Italian sex comedy cliché, this film lines them up and lets them trip over each other in pursuit of its unflappable heroine. Nobody does oblivious better than Guida, and nobody does lecherous like 1970s Italian cinema.

Synopsis
Why Cult
Guida delivers her signature blend of innocence and comic timing as Domenica, an au pair who remains hilariously unaware of the chaos she inspires.
Every archetype of the Italian sex farce genre makes an appearance, from the greedy couple to the gold-digging daughter, all vying for Domenica’s attention.
A sprawling cast of oddballs—including a hooker, a closeted politician, and a dying old man—keeps the comedic entanglements coming.
Domenica’s utter obliviousness fuels a series of frantic, farcical situations as the entire household competes to seduce her.
