줄리에타(줄리에타 마시나)는 겉으로는 성공한 남편 조르지오(마리오 피스)와 행복하게 지내고 있는 정숙한 부인이다. 지극히 평범한 외모와 성격의 줄리에타는 어머니, 친척들과 비교해도 너무 다르다. 어느 날 그녀는 결혼기념일에 남편의 지인들과 함께 한 자리에서 그들과 빙 둘러앉아 ‘영혼과의 대화’를 나눈다. 자신에게 들려진 메시지 ‘너는 쓸모없는 사람'이라는 말을 듣고는 쓰러진다. 이후 줄리에타는 여러 환상들을 겪으면서, 친구들과 모여 점성술이나 심령술에 심취하기도 하고 특이한 성격의 이웃 수지(산드라 밀로)와 어울려 보기도 한다. 그리고 15년간 함께해왔던 남편이 다른 직업모델 여성과 바람피우는 것을 알게 된다. 심야에 비밀스런 통화를 나누는 남편을 추궁하지만 그는 아무렇지도 않게 부인할 뿐이다. 나중에 정신과 의사의 도움으로 그녀는 사이코드라마에 참여를 하게 되고, 결국 그녀에게 들려준 정신과 의사의 충고는 ‘당신은 남편을 떠나고 싶어 한다’는 것이었다. 그녀는 결코 그렇지 않다고 하지만 정작 그녀 자신의 삶을 뒤돌아보았을 때, 그녀는 남편이 없는 곳에서야 비로소 자신의 모습을 찾을 수 있었다.
