Set in a small Italian village during World War II, the story follows a young and spirited woman, Lola, who is on a journey to discover her sexuality both emotionally and physically. Engaged to the passionate and somewhat possessive Masetto, Lola is frustrated by his traditional views on intimacy; he insists on remaining chaste until their wedding. Lola’s curiosity leads her to explore her desires and test the boundaries of societal norms, all while navigating the complications that her flirtatious behavior brings to her relationships and the gossip-fueled village life.

Lola’s adventurous spirit and her defiance of conservative values propel her into a series of provocative situations that challenge her engagement with Masetto and stir up the townspeople. The storyline weaves through various escapades, with Lola encountering a range of characters who influence her journey, from the experienced village libertine who offers her worldly advice to her prudish soon-to-be in-laws who frown upon her liberal attitude. With each interaction, Lola becomes more determined to assert her independence and desires. The plot explores themes of sexual freedom, societal expectations, and the pursuit of personal happiness, all set against the backdrop of a picturesque and tradition-bound village.
