Lusty young teenage temptress, Katja (Helle Louise) enthusiastically embarks upon a zesty series of sensuously 'mounted' sexcapades in the no less salubrious locale of a sublime-looking Copenhagen, her questionable motivation for all this lusty bacchanal being due to her father's (Ole Wisborg) stoic rejection of Katja's playful, and somewhat inappropriately erotic advances! Saucy Grindhouse god, Joseph Sarno, was certainly no slouch when it came to sprightly, ever-so daring 60s/70s smut, having shot the audaciously steamy, sinfully sensational flesh-feast, 'Inga' (1968) with exquisitely luscious, Jess Franco muse, Marie 'Eugenie' Liljedahl.

"She's 19. She's never been touched.

Eager and lascivious 19-year-old Katja (a winningly sweet and sincere performance by luscious Danish blonde dish Helle Louise) lusts after her handsome widower father Eric (well played by Ole Wisborg). After dear old dad rebuffs her bold advances, Katja instead loses her virginity to the studly Lars (hunky Soren Stromberg), has her first lesbian experience courtesy of her art mentor Lena (a memorably lusty Lise Henningsen) and Lena's gorgeous model lover Tanja (the stunningly beautiful Jeanette Swensson), and eventually seduces her attractive and sympathetic new stepmother Svea Karlson (a splendidly sultry portrayal by Gio Petre).

Katje (Hellie Louise) lives alone with her widowered father and gets fresh ideas about Father and Daughter togetherness. Unbeknownst to Hellie, though, Daddy is seeing a woman his own age and satisfying his glands on the side so he really doesn't need Hellie to share her warmth.

At first, Sarno's detached, ironic melodramatic style, which so perfectly fit his exposés of early 60s suburbia, may seem to be sappy and anachronistic in the more free-wheeling late 60s milieu of his Swedish period -- the bland pop music and candy colored photography replacing the expressive jazz and stark b&w of his earlier period. Nonetheless, he was still a master of gradually building psychological tensions to explosive (and often very nasty) climaxes, as is the case here.
