In a small and picturesque town in Sicily, a man of good manners and a certain social standing finds himself trapped in the tedium of his marriage. For years, life with his wife has lost all its luster, and he feels more like he's in a prison than a home. With his gaze fixed on his wife’s beautiful and young cousin, the protagonist begins to entertain unorthodox ideas to free himself from his unsatisfactory marital life.
His mind, a boiling cauldron of clever and satirical thoughts, devises a plan that defies the social norms of the time. Eager to be with the beautiful mistress, he decides that the only viable path is murder... but not just any kind. Taking advantage of the leniency in the country’s laws regarding honor killings, he crafts a series of comedic and absurd situations, where comedy intertwines with a backdrop of social critique.
As things become increasingly tangled and the plans grow more outrageous, the protagonist must confront not only the consequences of his actions and the possibility of losing everything, but also reflect on what he truly desires in life. The tension between what he considers the ideal of love and the reality of marriage becomes ever more palpable, revealing a delicate interplay between Italian culture and the quest for personal authenticity. With a sharp wit and a memorable cast, this story keeps the audience on the brink of laughter and contemplation.
