A famous director of fotonovelas in Italy offers the lead role in his next production to a fresh face. But Odette, the young French woman, seems familiar to his photographer. When the director attempts to use his position to demand that she be 'nice' to him, she slaps his face and leaves. The photographer goes after her and learns she had left the French cinema three years earlier for similar reasons when she was faithful to the principles taught to her when she was young.
