A dark, morally fraught drama of desire and power set against colonial exploitation, where jealousy and revenge simmer beneath the surface of a troubled marriage.

In 1936 Italy, Elio returns home from Africa with a present for his wife in the form of Zerbal, the daughter of a tribal king. Unbeknown to him, his neglected wife Alessandra has formed a relationship with Elio’s otherwise frigid secretary Velma who is less than pleased at Elio’s return.
