A junior executive (Giancarlo Giannini) is exasperated with his sexually repressed wife (Angela Molina) in this black comedy dripping with satire. The couple later ends up in bed with the man's mistress (Ombretta Colli) for a menage a trois. The man is pestered by his frantic friend Gualitiero (Paolo Bonacelli), who is convinced that someone is out to kill him. Ada (Aurore Clement) is the worried man's nymphomaniacal wife who is always on the outlook for some kinky sex. The theme is that human triviality and hang-ups hamper the quests of basic needs that can lead to a satisfying existence.~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
