...seems to bear a sexist message. Its protagonists are conventional sexual stereotypes. Raffaella (played by Mariangela Melata) is a rich capitalist bitch vacationing on a chartered yacht, most in her element when berating the deckhand who brings her iced coffee for the offensive odor of his sweaty shirt; Gennarino (Giancarlo Giannini) is the long-suffering deckhand, devoted equally to the Communist Party and to machismo. The plot is equally classic: shipwrecked together on a beautiful mediterranean isle, the two characters reverse roles entirely.

Mimi (Giancarlo Giannini) leaves his indifferent wife at home and moves north to Turin. There he lands a job in a metallurgy plant, a position in the trade union and the love of a ravishing bohemian called Fiore (Mariangela Melato...
...receives a cursory reply then, but a more substantial one years later, when the family friend returns to the farm and is shot by the local police. This is enough to turn the boy, now a young man called Tunin (Giancarlo Gianinni), toward anarchy and toward Rome, where he journeys to fire a bullet, engraved with the initials B.M., into the skull of Benito Mussolini...
