Ferdinando Cefalù is desperate to marry his cousin, Angela, but he is married to Rosalia and divorce is illegal in Italy. To get around the law, he tries to trick his wife into having an affair so he can catch her and murder her, as he knows he would be given a light sentence for killing an adulterous woman. He persuades a painter to lure his wife into an affair, but Rosalia proves to be more faithful than he expected.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pitch-black comedy that finds darkly comic gold in the collision between a man's desperate scheming and the messy reality of his wife's stubborn decency. It's a savage satire of Italian morality and masculine desire wrapped in the elegant style of early-60s cinema.
