In 1974, the film “Emmanuelle” was released, which became a sensation and brought world fame to 22-year-old Sylvia Kristel. From now on, the success of the film and the fate of the actress are one. In her autobiography, Sylvia Christel talks about her childhood spent in Utrecht, about her loneliness and lack of parental love, about her strict upbringing in a boarding school for sister nuns and the rapid rise of her creative career. A young girl who has not yet become a woman, but has already turned into a world-class movie star. But fame always has a downside. Sylvia Kristel writes about her life sincerely, with sad irony and light, bright melancholy, which gives the story a special charm.
