Dino Romani, a comic book illustrator who lives by the sea near Trieste, sits at a beach café one morning to draw, when he sees the rescue of Nicole, a beautiful young woman who has tried to drown herself. He offers her a towel to cover herself, which she returns the next day and, in gratitude, makes love before she disappears. Both are struck by the encounter, and they cross paths at irregular intervals, but beyond her name, Nicole, he is left with evasions and fantasies about who she truly is. In addition to her unpredictable mood changes, he is disturbed by her tendency to attract male attention through sexual exhibitionism. She is revealed to be a patient in an open psychiatric hospital, unable to sustain a stable relationship, let alone marriage. When Dino accidentally learns this, he goes on a trip to Venice with his ex-wife. On his return, Nicole is worse, but his continued love for her leads him to suggest that she live with him. He takes her on a trip to Paris, where her facade of normality begins to crack. Back at his house she becomes impossible to live with, losing her grip on reality and cutting off all her hair. While he sits drawing at the beach café one morning, he sees her walk into the sea to drown herself.
