Film Synopsis
A year after the death of his father, Zeno gets to know Giovanni Malfenti, a father of four daughters who becomes a friend, mentor and work colleague. Within no time, Zeno has fallen in love with Giovanni's eldest daughter Ada, an aspiring stage actress. For no apparent reason, Ada suddenly ends her love affair with Zeno, and he ends up being seduced by Alberta, the second eldest daughter. The sibling rivalry comes to a head when Alberta tries to kill herself and Zeno is driven away from the family. A year later, Giovanni visits him and invites him to the birthday party of Augusta, his third daughter...© James Travers
