Synopsis
Marcello Clerici is tormented by memories of a childhood marked by decadent, mentally unstable parents and an early homosexual encounter, during which he shot his seducer. In order to achieve a facade of normality Clerici embraces Italian Fascism, joins with the Secret Service, and marries Giulia, a conventional-minded woman who avoids asking questions about his career. When he accepts an assignment to kill Quadri, a leftist professor currently exiled in Paris, he is forced to confront his own ambivalence.
