Film Synopsis

Clara is a young canteen worker who lives among workers on a building site.  Irresistibly attracted to these men by their physical prowess, she gives herself willing to them.  Only Tonio Borelli manages to resist Clara's seductive charms, and this rejection serves merely to sow the seeds of love in her heart.  Clara is certain that Tonio is the one man who can satisfy her physical and emotional needs and she soon manages to persuade him to marry her.  At first, they live happily together in Paris, but soon, when Tonio is away from home, Clara once again slips back into a life of vice and becomes a prostitute...
