Synopsis: Set in the wealthy and traditional bourgeois society of Catania, Sicily, the story follows 17-year-old Nino (Paolo Turco), a restless and highly sensitive young man. Surrounded by a large, decaying family clinging to old-fashioned values, Nino finds himself dangerously infatuated with his beautiful, uninhibited, and married aunt, Cettina (Gina Lollobrigida). As Cettina playfully encourages the boy's affections, their relationship crosses the line into a secret and deeply intimate romance. For Nino, it is an all-consuming first love; but for Cettina, it is merely a fleeting distraction from her boring provincial life. The young boy's illusions are brutally shattered when he discovers that his aunt has taken a new, older lover. Forced to confront jealousy, heartbreak, and the cynical reality of the adult world, Nino must painfully leave his innocence behind and choose his own path to maturity.
