Description

Stefano, a shy young man who has just finished his studies in Switzerland, wants to become a priest, but his father Leonardo, a wealthy Milanese publishing magnate, intends for him to take over the family empire instead. Hoping to change his son's mind, Leonardo invites Stefano on a yacht trip with his mistress, setting a trap of pleasure and temptation designed to pull Stefano away from his spiritual ambitions. Mauro Bolognini's film is a coolly styled critique of Italy's emerging consumer society.
