Synopsis
In this adaptation of Anaïs Nin's erotic novel "Delta of Venus," a young American female writer undergoes a sexual awakening when she travels to Paris in 1939.
While struggling to get her stories published, Elena meets Lawrence, a successful American expatriate novelist who represents everything she wants in a man. The two begin a passionate romance, but he must suddenly leave her to go on a book tour of the United States.
