synopsis
Valeria is having a difficult time finding her center of gravity and is currently really angry at her boyfriend. She is living in Rome, studying art restoration, but her real home is in Spain. She's something of a loose cannon these days. After moving out of her old quarters, she takes up with a gay male couple and cheerfully seduces the more susceptible of the two. After that, she travels in the countryside with one of her instructors and a famous friend of his and has a brief liaison with a man she meets there.
