Sylvia (Sylvia Kristel) is on the run from her lover Marc (Patrick Bauchau), so she heads for Brazil & has a plastic surgeon, Doctor Santano (Christian Marquand) give her a new look & a new identity ... that of Emmanuelle (who is then played by Mia Nygren), all the while trying to convince everybody that she did it for a newspaper article.

To cope with this quite massive change, Santano has hired psychiatrist Dona (Deborah Power), who is supposed to watch over little Emmanuelle 24/7 ... but little Emmanuelle soon does what all little Emmanuelles seem to do in the movies: Fuck pretty much every man in the cast, & quite a few women too.

She even meets Marc again, who doesn't recognize her, but still wastes no time & undresses her in public.

After an excursion through Brazil that eventually seperates Emmanuelle from her watchdog Dona for a month, when she goes to the Amazon jungle with Rodrigo (Gérard Dimiglio) & his assistant/girlfriend Susan (Sonja Martin) & seduces them both, Emmanuelle comes back to Dona & finally starts a sexual affair with her, as well.

But ultimately she realizes she is still in love with Marc, & goes back to him. He has in the meantime searched heaven & hell for her (as Sylvia) but found no trace of her. But as Emmanuelle,she succeeds to make him forget Sylvia, her former self.

The Emmanuelle-films were all pretty stupic, but this is the silliest yet ... & not in a good way: Pointless & not particularly interesting erotic shenanigans in front of a Brazilian picture postcard backdrop are interrupted by some sort of story that despreately tries to tie the sex-scenes together but has remarkably little to do with them at the same time, & the off-screen monologues by Emmanuelle, Dona & Marc that desperately try to be meaningful, only add to the overall sillyness.

If you want to watch only one Emmanuelle movie ... this is not the one.
