L'immoralità

Federico is a fugitive wanted for the sexual assault and killing of young girls. Wounded while fleeing, he hides in the woods and is taken in by Simona, a girl living with her parents in an isolated country house. Her mother, Vera, trapped in a bitter marriage with an invalid husband who spends his days in a wheelchair, discovers the stranger's presence and begins an affair with him. Vera, aware of who Federico is, schemes to use him to get rid of her husband, while Simona, who has developed her own intense attachment to the man, resents the bond forming between him and her mother. Suspicion from the police and local residents closes in as the situation at the villa deteriorates.
