Two men in this film look through a red-framed window at their wives dancing together, then enter the dance hall and sit at the table that the women had just left. The first few minutes of this film appear as a series of (*) assorted flashbacks while the protagonist rides in a car driven by his associate Manganiello. In this film, Marcello uses his honeymoon with Giulia as a pretense to travel to Paris so he can assassinate his former professor Quadri, a dissident (10[1])of the current regime.
