Aventuras e Desventuras de Julieta Pipi

Images of Los Angeles in the 1970s and a subsequent takeoff from LAX airport give way to Portela, where internationally renowned actress Julieta Pipi has just arrived in Lisbon. Miss Pipi prepares for a tense press conference to be held at her palace on the outskirts of the capital. Faced with questions that are sometimes political, sometimes intellectual, and sometimes even sexually inquisitive, Pipi defends herself, with an Italian accent (influenced by the last film she shot in Italy), against all provocations, even sidestepping impertinent questions about her dramatic training. With the conference setting the tone, the film operates a sequence of flashbacks that introduce us to her work and past glories.
