Without love, even the beautiful but arrogant and conceited Barbara cannot live. Yet when her secret and increasingly dark fantasies suddenly become reality, she becomes frightened. She finds herself in a world that is both terrifying and thrilling, one that attracts and repels her at the same time like a magnet, a world that is painful and yet filled with ecstasy. After a dreadful adventure, the woman once believed to be ruthless slowly begins to change, and it seems that this transformation may bring love into her life. But happiness never comes for free. Her path toward emotional balance and finding the ideal man is full of unexpected twists and excitement, accompanied by intrigue and misunderstandings, inner struggles and torment. She constantly rejects and then reaccepts the opportunities offered by this dark world, while through a passionately reckless affair she begins to discover the secrets of her own body and desires that outsiders may find difficult to accept. Meanwhile, everyone gets a little sting: the multinationals, today’s women, and men alike.
