Plot
Antonio and Domenico have been lovers for a long time. Antonio is an accountant, while Domenico is a pharmacist. Domenico makes more money that Antonio and has wealthy parents.
Meanwhile, Antonio has met Adriano Velluto, a model for a soap commercial, who is also in a relationship with Matilde, who is about to become a mother. Adriano moves in with them and Domenico patiently endures the "ménage a trois" and seemingly stays out of the way. But it's a clever maneuver that intensifies when Domenico disappears from Antonio and Adriano's lives.
In reality, Domenico has turned the tables and provided Adriano with an apartment, using Matilde as a pretext. Thus, Antonio resumes his usual routine with Domenico, and the pharmacist, not so secretly, has his backup friend within reach.[3]
