Film Synopsis

In the late 1970s, Eva is a 20-year-old who has grown tired of her life as a stripper in a seedy Barcelona nightclub.   On the spur of the moment, she decides to chuck it all in and pursue her dream of living a 'normal' life.  She heads for France with the intention of finding an honest job and an attentive husband with whom she can start a family.  Arriving in Paris, she finds accommodation with a supposedly gay friend, but before either of them knows it they are deeply in love with the other.  Could Eva's dreams of a normal existence be threatened by an all-consuming passionate love affair, or is this the beginning of what she had set her sights on, her first step on the road to true and lasting happiness...?
