Coming back from a bit of yachting, Cecilia (Muriel Montossé) is picked up by her driver Kan (José Valero), and she promptly gets naked in the backseat of his limousine, but then she learns he isn't driving her home but delivers her to his brothers whom she had fired for peeping on her just a few days ago, and now they thank her by gangraping her ...

Cecilia returns to her husband André (Antonio Mayans) ... and after she has told him everything and they have sex, Cecilia confesses to him it was the best ever, and she figures, only by having sex with other man every once in a while can she really appreciate her husband making love to her. So she suggests for both of them playing the field a bit, but he's shocked - so with the help of a fatherly friend (Antonio de Cabo), she sees to it that he's seduced. Soon, both of them sleep around, to a point where André doesn't return home anymore for days on end. Cecilia is so worried she ... visits Kan and family for a gangbang. She learns that Kan is seriously in love with her though, and even though she doesn't love him back, she has an extended session of sex on the beach with him.

At a sex party, Cecilia gets drunk and the situation gets completely out of hand ... to a point where she's gangraped again and then left on the spot unconscious. Thank God her fatherly friend finds her, nurses her back to health, and lets her have sex with his girlfriend - then he tells her André, who has been missing for days, has returned to be with her, forever ...

Lina Romay plays a sex teacher/nightclub performer.

 

Cecilia has all the typical elements you'd expect from a Jess Franco-sexploitation flick: Lots of nudity, even if it makes only limited sense, the occasional lesbian scenes, perversions left and right, and of course a voyeuristic gaze on the story that unfolds ... and yet, Cecilia is definitely not one of Franco's better flicks: Basically, the film does take itself way too seriously without actually having that much to say, and it completely lacks the irony of Franco's best of whatever genre. Additional to that, the camerawork is rather bland on this one, and fails to make anything interesting out of what's happening beyond just showing naked women. Well, at least the women are pleasing to look at, and the sex scenes are hot (all softcore only, in case you wonder), but there's little beynd that, really.
