Innocent Doris (Sandra Julien), the daughter of the gardener, is deeply in love with Eric (Jean-Luc Terrade), the son of her father's boss (Robert Lombard), until one day, enticed by his own sister Carla (Marie-Georges Pascal), Eric rapes Doris. But since Eric is the son of rich parents, & Doris a mere gardener's daughter, the affair is hushed up & Doris is sent to a girls' school to be out of the way.

There she feels like an outsider, & has frequent nightmares about the rape, but she also finds a friend in Léa (Catherine Wagener), whom she even allows to have lesbian sex with here, even though she detests it.

Later Doris is lured to Paris by theatre director Luc (Thierry Murzeau), & she soon moves in with him, & the 2 seem to be truely in love ... but she just can't bring herself to make love with him, as the images of her rape come up again & again ... & despite his love, Luc soon looks for a sexual partner elsewhere (Frédérique Aubrée), & Doris of course leaves him ... to soon become entangled with Eva (Anne Kerylen), head of a callgirl ring, who soon realizes that Doris' frigidity might be used as her asset, & seh gives her a job as hooker.

One day, one of Doris' johns turns out to be Eric's father, & she decides to confront him with the rape & everything, whereupon he realizes (for the first time) that he has handled the affair all wrong, & he agrees to pay for her psychotherapy.

The therapist finds out several things about the rape, including the fact that Doris did enjoy the rape itself (what ?), but wasn't to keen on Eric's sister Carla inflicting pain on her during the proceedings, & furthermore Carla had an incestuous relationship with Eric. Furthermore, that frigidity-thing will blow over once Doris has found the right man ... so our Doris goes back to Luc, who's still madly in love with her & lets him fuck her - but it doesn't work. Then she goes back to her hometown, & meets Eric again, whom she first gives the cool treatment, but soon she realizes she still has feelings for him - & allows him to fuck her in exactly the greenhouse he once raped her in ... & it's divine.

& they lived happily ever after ...

 

The film starts out as an erotic satire of the burgeoisie & its depravity, a bit like a dirty man's Claude Chabrol, culminating in Doris the hooker confronting the father of her rapist, her john, & showing the wrongs he has done her in protecting his son. However after that the film totally falls apart when the girl realizes she loves her rapist & successfully tries to win him back. Setting all political correctness aside, this could still make an interesting story, the problem of the film is that it is told in utter sincerity, without even the slightest hint of either irony or second thought, which the plot literally calls out for.
