Mac's journey takes her to Spain, where she meets an arrogant and passionate bullfighter named Angel, who becomes her first lover. However, Mac's father disapproves of her affair with Angel and sends her on a world tour with her butler, Catalina, to "find herself."
During her travels, Mac has a brief romance with a Russian archaeologist named Rallis, but her heart is still set on finding her ideal lover. She then meets and falls for a wealthy Arabian sheik named Ruffo, who introduces her to the pleasures of the harem.
Throughout her journey, Mac is accompanied by Catalina, who helps to arrange her couplings and provides emotional support. Despite encountering several potential suitors, Mac remains fixated on finding her ideal lover and becomes increasingly frustrated with her failed attempts.
Bolero received negative reviews from critics upon its release, but it gained a cult following over the years due to its erotic themes and Bo Derek's performance. The film was highly controversial at the time due to its explicit nudity and sexual content.
