Lidija Šunjerga is the star of many movies, but this movie takes it from a completely different angle. This time the prostitute and porn star is more bare than in any of her ‘work’ films. This is a fascinating story of the first person ever to publicly speak about her career in the conservative, predominately catholic Croatian society. We track her life story from her small village in Dalmatia, through shop windows of Amsterdam, porn sets, Playboy covers ... back to her small village.
