Plot
editA complex love story in the setting of a summer holiday in the beautiful islands off the coast of Puglia (Italy). Here we find two couples: an irregular but happy Italian pair of youths, and the other Swedish, more mature and legal. Gunnar Lindmark is a professor of psychology, while his wife Meret finds here a reminiscence of an old extramarital love, which ceased because of her lover's death. This crisis triggers jealousy in the professor, who kills the Italian guy.
