Summary
Rebecca is a bored housewife who bolts from her home in the French countryside to visit her lover, Daniel, in Germany. Wearing nothing but a form-fitting black leather suit, the lusty Rebecca races across the country, and in flashback remembers the start of their affair. She recalls the initial, furtive glances in her father's bookstore, her elaborate sexual fantasies and their long-awaited consummation. Most important of all is the motorcycle itself, a gift from Daniel that seems to give her more pleasure than any man could deliver.
