French distributor AAA gave Emmanuelle 5 a push in print ads and promotional posters, all touting filmgoers with the Borowczyk name.

Emmanuelle (Monique Gabrielle) is a free-spirited woman who makes erotic arthouse films and runs a dance studio out of her loft in Paris.

After the Q&A, Emmanuelle's producer introduces her to Prince Rajid (Yaseen Khan), a wealthy despot who owns the fictional Arab country of Benglagistan.

Her unwitting saviour is Charles D. Foster (Dana Burns Westburg), a young millionaire who disapproves of Emmanuelle's erotic films.

After an argument with the concerned Foster, Emmanuelle travels to Benglagistan to promote her film, and meets Eddie, an Indiana Jones style danger-seeker who befriends her.

After being rescued and returning home to mourn her dead lover, she receives a note and flowers and realizes Foster is alive and loves only her.

The Emmanuelle 5 soundtrack is more lush Europop, this time featuring 80s style synth in addition to the guitars and vocals (by Sandy Stevenson and Bachelet himself).
