Elli and Marco are an unquestionably unusual wedded couple. Due to a damage as a kid, Marco harbors homosexual drives that he represses inside his married life and Elli is a barely suppressed nymphomaniac. The marriage is useful for both of them as it allows them to blend in within the confines of their regular social life in a sanctimonious provincial town. Their marriage, however, does not solve their problems, nor are things made any easier by the unexpected return of George, the English antiquarian "friend" of Marco, who now tries to seduce Marco. Marco kills the girl who loves him, whom he has rejected, and then throws himself from a tower, under the eyes of Elli and George.
The plot is interesting and there could have been so much done with the theme but I found myself struggling to keep up with the film. Most times, I would feel the story is that of a jealous wife who sees her husband's ex lover return to the scene but definitely the film was a lot more to that. Maybe I am missing something, but this film didn't do for me. But I also believe that keeping the basic idea same of a gay man married to a nymphomaniac woman can create a very interesting storyline. For now, its safe to say that this film is a waste of time. I don't know what the title means. There are no male to male kissing r sex scenes. There is just a hint that the man is gay and that's it. (0.5/10)
