Synopsis
En 1940, à Venise, alors que l'Italie fasciste s’apprête à entrer en guerre, Nino, un homme déclinant et libertin, tient le journal de ses frustrations et de ses fantasmes avec le désir inavoué que Teresa, sa très belle épouse, le lise. Laszlo, son futur gendre, est photographe. Nino obtient sa complicité en lui demandant de développer des photos de sa femme en tenue suggestive. Laszlo accepte mais fait en sorte que Lisa, sa fiancée, fasciste convaincue, les trouve. Lisa adopte ensuite une attitude ambiguë car, après avoir vertement reproché son inconduite à sa mère, elle fait en sorte de la rapprocher de Laszlo afin qu'une liaison se concrétise. Teresa se met alors à son tour à rédiger un journal qui répond à celui de son mari.Actors
