Roman teen Stefania Sandrelli spends her time listening to 45s, going to parties and having sex with her much older landlord. She aspires to be a model and actress, giving ludicrous sums of money to a photographer who promises her stardom. She attends a party where a famous director shows up and catches his eye, but the opportunity passes. Her newsreel debut is re-edited to comic effect, leaving her embarrassed in front of friends. She spends a fun-filled night dancing with a new friend, returns to her empty apartment and meets a tragic, if predictable, end. It's all Sandrelli, from the costumes to the music and dancing, but dated badly by the music and that ending just leaves a bad taste.
