When Love Is Lust

Directed by Vittorio De Sisti

With Agostina Belli, Gianni Macchia, Françoise Prévost, Ewa Aulin and Femi Benussi

A decadent countess, middle-aged but still attractive, forces her young and timid daughter to marry a rich butcher. But the couple’s sexual relation is troubled, because the girl has her fair share of inhibitions. So she abandons her house and seeks refuge at her sister’s place. During her absence, her husband finds consolation in his mother in law’s arms.
