Synopsis

Adam Petersen is a workaholic, running an international engineering firm specializing in water treatment facilities. His lovely young wife, May, pays the price for Adam's dedication to his work - she's lonely, bored and horny! Adam has just hired Aksel Hansen as his new sales director. Aksel believes that the key to boosting their flagging business is entertaining prospective clients with wine and women - which goes against Adam's Puritanical nature. Aksel's supply of women comes from his friend Maria's "SubRosa" escort service. He gives Adam one of their brochures, which inadvertently falls into May's hands. Seeing this as an exciting alternative to her unfulfilling life as a housewife, she soon signs on with "SubRosa". Everything goes swimmingly, as May - under her working name, Eva - "escorts" a whole host of male (and female) clientele. Swimmingly, that is, until "SubRosa" is called upon to entertain a gathering of municipal leaders ... who just happen to be prospective clients of Adam Petersen's engineering firm! Complications ensue..
