1

Founding Emmanuelle's clinic and lab

Emmanuelle establishes a clinic and a cutting-edge lab that uses clients' sexual memories and virtual reality simulations to induce sexual ecstasy or healing. The facility becomes the hub where therapy and experimentation intersect, signaling a new approach to intimacy. The premise centers on leveraging technology to explore desire in controlled, immersive ways.

2

Laurence seeks help for trauma

Laurence, an old school friend, arrives seeking relief from a traumatic sexual history caused by a nun incident in her youth. Emmanuelle agrees to help, recognizing the potential of VR-based therapy to reconstruct her memories. The goal is to heal repression and restore her confidence with men.

3

Laurence becomes patient and therapy begins

Emmanuelle takes Laurence as a patient and begins a series of simulated experiences designed to reframe her memories. The process uses the clinic's technology to recreate pivotal moments from her past in a controlled environment. Each session aims to replace fear with understanding and desire without retraumatization.

4

First simulation: relive first sex without trauma

In the initial VR session, Laurence experiences a first sexual encounter without the nun's water splash, allowing a gentler memory to be explored. The simulation emphasizes safety and consent while re-framing her feelings toward intimacy. The goal is to soften the trauma's grip on her present relationships.

5

Second simulation: sex with Emmanuelle watched by peers

A subsequent memory replays a consensual encounter with Emmanuelle, observed by other dormitory girls. The scene tests social exposure and the sense of being watched, encouraging autonomy and self-acceptance. Laurence begins to see herself as an active participant in her desires.

6

Third simulation: revenge on the rapist

The third VR scenario gives Laurence a chance to confront her rapist within a safe, controlled setting. It’s framed as empowerment, allowing her to process anger and reclaim agency. The therapy marks a shift from passive suffering to active self-assertion.

7

Fourth simulation: naked walk in a male bathhouse

In the fourth sequence, Laurence walks nude through a male bathhouse to seduce as many men as possible. The intent is to break body shame and restore a sense of sensual agency. The VR environment intensifies emotional and physical arousal as part of healing.

8

Confronting a powerful sexual awakening

During the group encounter, Laurence experiences an extreme orgasm as multiple partners participate, but a kiss from a third man triggers a deeper emotional shift. The moment leads her to realize her longing for a meaningful connection rather than mere conquest. The scene catalyzes her redefinition of love and desire.

9

Laurence is healed and remarries

By the end, Laurence is no longer repressed and becomes the wife of a powerful film executive. The transformation showcases how virtual therapy can alter real-life relationships and social standing. Emmanuelle's method demonstrates its potential to heal and empower.

10

Cannes Festival moment

In a bold culmination, Sophie performs discreet oral sex with him, followed by a public encounter on a podium as the world press looks on. The audience applauds when the couple climaxes, highlighting the intersection of vulnerability, performance, and fame. The scene cements the film's provocative stance on sexuality in public life.

11

Technological breakthrough and its implications

The film highlights its groundbreaking use of computers to observe fantasies, foreshadowing how such technology would become integral to porn and erotic storytelling. The VR surveillance theme raises questions about privacy, consent, and the commodification of desire. The work positions itself as a precursor to a tech-driven era of intimate media.

12

Price and ethical questions of therapy

Emmanuelle's practice carries a heavy price, enabling immense access to desire while potentially exploiting clients or raising ethical concerns. The narrative uses this tension to critique the commercialization of intimate experiences. The final note underscores both the power and the dangers of merging therapy with sex-tech.
