Plot
The film, told mostly in flashback, tells the story of a timid bank clerk living in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, who finds himself swept into dating and marrying a possessive woman. He endures stress as her behavior in their marriage becomes increasingly domineering, and faces obstacles in leaving her for a more amenable woman, in a time when divorce was still illegal in Italy.
