Synopsis
Dominique Aury has been veiled for 40 years. She is the writer of the erotic novel (Story of O) and was also a good-looking editor during the most famously publicized France of the 1950s. The book is about the love story between her and her lover, the French intellectual and writer, Jean Paulhan. The book evokes echoes of 'morality and ethics'. The film is about the events over the publication of the book Story of O. This documentary deals uniquely and delicately with the literary world of Paris, France in the 1950s. The contrast between her two disparate personalities is recreated in documentary footages of her and her contemporaries. The film treats the subjects of sex and love, literature, feminism, freedom and morality. This film achieved fame with its exposure in the magazine "New Yorker" by Paula Rappaport. The veiled author, who swept across an age, confesses her history in a quiet tone. The luxurious music of the film is very charming.
