A 1970s erotic drama exploring unconventional relationships and sexual liberation through the eyes of a woman navigating open marriage with sensuality and philosophical detachment.

Emmanuelle returns to her husband in Hong Kong and proceeds to have several extramarital affairs -- with his knowledge, of course. Her husband's lover and American guest are both very puzzled by their openness.
