Debora is a student searching for a job to help pay off her mortgage when she meets Riccardo Schicchi, who offers her a position as a secretary at his agency. What Debora doesn’t realize is that she will soon become part of a significant chapter in Italy’s recent history: the agency in question is Diva Futura, a management firm that would transform the pornography industry in Italy and around the world through iconic figures such as Moana Pozzi, Cicciolina, Milly D’Abbraccio, and Eva Henger.
