Produced during a time of transition for the Cinema da Boca do Lixo , the film reflects the shift from lighthearted erotic comedies to the more explicit "hard-core" productions that emerged as Brazil moved toward redemocratization.

The narrative centers on Vanessa (played by ), a young woman from a wealthy but neglectful background. Traumatized by a past event, she suffers from vivid psycho-sexual hallucinations involving older men while remaining cold and repressed in her real-life interactions.

Critics often describe the film as "wild" and "sinister," featuring surrealistic dream sequences and unsimulated scenes that pushed the boundaries of 1980s censorship.

Unlike standard erotica of the era, the film attempts to weave a complex psychological layer through its lead character’s internal struggles.
