Plot

Daniela (Gloria Guida), nicknamed "Blue Jeans" after her cut-off jean shorts, is an underage streetwalker. She is caught by the police and claims that she is the illegitimate daughter of Dr. Carlo Anselmi (Paolo Carlini), a renowned restoration artist living in Latina countryside. Although Anselmi claims the opposite, Daniela's word is taken as a presumption of law and she is entrusted to Anselmi. Anselmi quickly bonds with his supposed newfound daughter, however their borderline-incestuous attraction causes friction with Anselmi's girlfriend Marisa (Annie Carol Edel). Things get further complicated when Daniela becomes involved with a mysterious man, Sergio (Gianluigi Chirizzi).
