Synopsis

Dodò (Francesco Casale) is a Roman university lecturer who is of ripe age and prominent standing, but his life is still under the overbearing mandate of his father Alberto (Franco Branciaroli), a retired professor and mature womaniser, who is currently bedridden due to a fracture and living with his nurse Fausta (Cristina Garavaglia). Dodò's relationship with his father is further traumatised by Dodò's affliction for his deceased mother. Dodò is also married to voluptuous Silvia (Katarzyna Kozaczyk, as Katarina Vasilissa), a former student of Alberto. One day, Silvia leaves Dodò for no apparent reason. Dodò indulges his sexual urges getting deeper in an obsessive voyeurism. Soon, Silvia comes up with the confession of having an affair with another man, contrasting Dodò's sentimentalism with her illicit lover's raw sexuality. Dodò starts to think that the other man might actually be his father Alberto.
