The film provides a dark critique of traditional social structures, particularly targeting the hypocrisy of religious and patriarchal authority. By portraying a moralist as a murderer, it turns the stable family unit into a site of corruption. However, the film's limited diversity and the way it uses queer elements as plot devices to provoke male reactions prevent it from achieving a higher score. Ultimately, the work successfully critiques institutional morality but falls short in offering broad and independent representation for underrepresented groups.

Official Synopsis
Professor Ricardo Rossi is an uncompromising moralist and a paladin of Catholic morals. He is understandably baffled when he finds his wife Elisa in bed with another woman (whom Rossi mistakens for a man). Furious, he poisons his wife and throws her body into a lake, then brings home a prostitute, Eva, to replace her. He also begins an affair with his niece Barbara. But Elisa is not dead, as Rossi soon finds and she is plotting with Eva to get rid of him. Rossi is more precise this time and shoots the two women dead. However, there is a complication and more deaths ensue...
