She begins to lead a hedonistic life and visits sex clubs and erotic parties. Stella flourishes through all the new attention. Her husband discovers her secret life but says that she needs freedom, and hopes that it is only a phase. Then one day she finds herself unconscious in a cell and has no idea how she got there. Days go by when Christine, a woman about the same age, is brought into her cell. In the following days, they reveal their life stories to one other. Christine is convinced that the reason for their captivity lies in Stella's lifestyle.
