Laura Gemser, Paola Senatore,Pilar Velazquez - Emanuelle – A Woman from a Hot Country (1978)

"Emanuelle – A Woman from a Hot Country" (1978), also known as La mujer de la tierra caliente or The Woman from the Hot Land, is a Spanish-Italian co-production directed by José María Forqué. It stars Laura Gemser and Stuart Whitman as two hitchhikers who share stories of their past relationships through flashbacks. Unlike many of Gemser's more well-known works in the Black Emanuelle series, this film is not directly part of that franchise, despite her association with the "Emanuelle" name, which was often leveraged for marketing purposes.
Regarding nude scenes, Laura Gemser was renowned for her roles in erotic cinema, and this film does contain some nudity consistent with her filmography from that period. The movie features erotic elements, including scenes where Gemser appears nude or partially nude, often tied to the sensual storytelling of her character’s past. One notable moment includes a peculiar scene where her character showers in her underwear, which has been remarked upon for its oddity, though it still aligns with the film's softcore aesthetic. The nudity here is less exploitative and more narrative-driven compared to the Black Emanuelle series, reflecting the film’s melancholic tone rather than the outright sleaze of some of her other works.
