This movie is about a couple who has an affair. They fall in love and then go their separate ways. They at first gain experience in ways that a prostitute and a client might, and later in the film decide to do it like lovers would. The scenes are in a café, where they meet periodically before their encounters, and the hotel room, where they have the affair. This is an adult movie, and shows female anatomy but no genitalia, male or female. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gave me a lot to think about.
