Variations on an Oedipal theme provide the central plot line, as we see against the spectre of an overprotective mother (Katina Paxinou) the struggle of the saintlike Rocco (Alain Delon) to save Simon (Renato Salvatori) from the dishonorable ways he has fallen into. The tragic situation is provoked by the love affair of Rocco and Nadia (Annie Girardot), a prostitute whom Simon had loved and lost. When Simon learns of Rocco's success, he drives himself to re-enact the primal crime, raping...
