Halm is a Jewish boy who begins a homosexual relationship with a worker at his uncle's factory in Trieste at the turn of the century. He subjugates and discards the lover and then discovers he likes heterosexuality, too, after visiting a prostitute. He meets a rich pair of mixed twins and
is attracted to both. The families arrange a marriage between Halm and the girl, and he accepts conventional sexuality. The film has pretensions toward a serious analysis of sex roles and class differences, but it comes off as a soft-focus sex film from Samperi, the King of Italian soft-focus sex
films. (In Italian; English subtitles.)
