After many years working as a journalist in France, Giuseppe returns to the empty family home in his native Acireale and looks up his old flame Caterina, now a widow and mother of the teenage Graziella. A staid middle-aged romance is rekindled and he begins spending nights in her home. Graziella, though she has a local boyfriend, finds her mother's mature and sophisticated lover far more alluring and starts trying to entice him.
Giuseppe succumbs to Graziella's charms bit by bit, and the affair has only just been consummated when Caterina finds out. Stormy arguments among the three end with a fragile truce, in which Giuseppe will not abandon Caterina. Unhappy that she has not won, Graziella gets her friend Rosina to tempt Giuseppe into a beach cabin and then rushes to tell her mother about this new infidelity. Dressing herself immaculately, Caterina waits outside Giuseppe's house until he emerges, when she shoots him dead.
Originally the character of Graziella was planned to be played by Ornella Muti, but she was eventually dropped because considered too attractive for the role.[2]
Receptionedit
At the time of its release, the newspapers widely reported the news of a man who died of a heart attack watching the movie.[3]
