This is a movie about a talented ballerina and weak mother who knows that the step father has desires for the child. The mother catches the step-father in bed and in other sordid situations with her daughter but does nothing to stop it because she values a roof over her head and not the safety of her daughter from a perverted pedophile that she is living with.

While visiting and staying with a friend as she practices for a performance, the girl meet a young traveling performing artist who is also in town for a festival. They begin talking and hanging out much to the dismay of the stepfather.

The stepfather tries to keep the two apart, but finally after much thought and consideration, the mother steps up to the plate as they are leaving town and has the driver stop the car thus allowing her daughter the chance to escape this lecherous pedophile and leave with the young performing artist.

This was one of the euro flicks channel 62 in detract used to play on it Movies All Night programing (before cable) it's a love triangle with papa his wife and stepdaughter. It probably will never be played on US TV again.

There is a lot of Italian scenery; on location-all of it; the tension of the plot is the wife noticing the Dad and stepdaughter being together a great deal-she is in the bathroom topless when he is shaving. There is no sex between them but he gets the hots for her and has a crisis.

She runs away with a boyfriend her own age, and we are left with the cliffhanger-how does their marriage survive-continue? It is all rather tame but under 18 nudity would probably make it child pornography now.
