The plot revolves around a single theme, the sexual impulses of a couple -and the dreams and fantasies related to them-in a story where sexual episodes follow one another throughout. The scenes portrayed are a projection of the unconscious mind (in dreams, in fantasies, and also in far-fetched reality), acquiring increasing intensity till the bathos of everyday life returns at the end of the film.
