Suspicious of Lilith, the jealous wife of the theatre owner sends dresser Jenny to spy on her, and desperate for the money to help her family, Jenny agrees. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Jenny finds is a woman as astonishing in her performance as she is provocative in nature.
