About
The Catanese baron Paolo Castorini leaves the closed Sicilian environment and moves to Rome where he enters into erotic relationships with women of all classes. He, however, feels dissatisfied with a life of only the body, compared to his journalist friend Vincenzo and his own father, a sober and serious thinker. But is it too late for him?
