Undressing

by Anthony Capella

Eighteen-year-old student Natale lives in Monforte, a sleepy town in Piedmont where nothing much ever happens. When a tiny upmarket lingerie shop opens, it doesn't take long for the townspeople to form strong opinions on whether they want a place of that sort stirring up passions some think better left unstirred. But when Natale herself takes a job there as a sales assistant, it precipitates her own sexual and political awakening - as well as bringing her to the attention of Marcello, a famous film director from Rome. Soon Natale is discovering that sex is a much more difficult business than she'd anticipated....
