A suburb of Milan. Alberta, a young saleswoman, is found dead. Duca Lamberti, a former doctor who lost his license for assisting an elderly patient in dying, needs work after three years in prison. He agrees to take care of the alcoholic son of a wealthy businessman and help him with his withdrawal. When Lamberti discovers that the young man drinks because he believes he is guilty of Alberta's death, he begins his investigation. It involves young women who resort to prostitution out of necessity or curiosity, dirty pornography, and murder. Duca Lamberti tries to solve this with the help of Livia, a young woman who offers herself as bait to trap Alberta's killer. Giorgio Scerbanenco (1911-1969) reports on the contradictions of Italy that still exist today: the Italy of the downtrodden, the outsiders, the insane, and the indifferent; the Italy of a new and absurdly brutal crime that knows no fear and no shame; the Italy of political cover-ups and concealment. Carlo Lucarelli.
