A lighthearted, sensual 1920s-set ensemble comedy centered on desire and romantic entanglement at a rural Italian inn.

Passions run wildly amok at Carlo's country inn as his wife, Amelia, fantasizes about an affair with a guest, while his grandson Gianni spies on him to learn the secrets of love. And when Carlo's sexy cousin Marilinda comes to stay, everybody sits up and takes notice.
