It is not until she herself falls passionately in love with another man, Filippo D’Arborio, and bears his child that the marriage begins to fall apart. Tullio, driven by jealousy takes irrevocable steps to sever his wife’s connection with her lover. Stars Giancarlo Giannini, Laura Antonelli and Jennifer O’Neill.
