A privileged wife’s desire for motherhood drives her into a world of restless encounters.
VALERIE INSIDE OUTSIDE
A young, frustrated woman is married to a famous choreographer. She has everything she wants except for one thing: her husband refuses to have sex with her.
Bouchet’s wardrobe alone could fund a small revolution in taste.
Barbara Bouchet stars as the restless Valeria, swirling through decadent Italian interiors and forbidden trysts in a search for fulfillment her choreographer husband refuses to provide. If you like your domestic drama with a dose of scandal and an unapologetic eye for sensuality, this one doesn’t hold back.
