London år 1953. Ingrid lät blicken vandra över oljemålningar med nakna modeller i konstnären Sams ateljé. Skulle hon våga? Sedan ett halvår tillbaka jobbade Ingrid som au pair i Englands huvudstad. Dessutom var hon en duktig maskinskriverska. Hon trivdes bra men ville testa något nytt, något kittlande. Annonsen i tidningen hade lett henne hit, till en ateljé ovanpå en typisk pub. Sam, som var en kvinna klädd i herrkläder, visade henne tålmodigt hur hon skulle sitta. Sedan började hon teckna.

Ingrid dricker upp sin kopp te hemma hos sin au pair-familj och beger sig till vernissagen. Hon planerar att beskåda Sams målningar av henne som en anonym besökare. Det är fullt med folk och musiken lyfter stämningen. Ingrid finner sin avklädda kropp på en enorm canvas, fullt med beundrare framför. Utställningen blir en succé, och efteråt dras Ingrid med på fest. Där börjar hon dansa med en älvliknande varelsen, och medan de njuter av varandras kroppar tittar en äldre dam på.
