Lingerie

Maria, a beautiful country girl is going to work. Maria is a workwoman in the lingerie factory of Eros Veneziani, a company very important in this market. The boss is very angry because Maria works too slow and she has to work overtime because he must make the delivery for the day after. Now Maria is alone in the desert factory. She decides to go in the exposition hall to have some coffee to fight her tiredness. While she is drinking her coffee, she started to dream about the mannequins in the show room, she dreams to be a star, to be in a famous atelier for making a show, to make some pictures in a photographic studio, and she dreams to be invited in a wonderful castle with some noble people that love her. Then in reality there are two guardians that are making their usual night patrol. Unsatisfied for the broken dream, she goes with sensuality near the two men and, very surprised for this vision, they look her with Desire.

Directed by Franco Lo Cascio, Lingerie leans on a strong ensemble — Fernanda Diaz, Judith Kostner, Judy Flash — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2000.
