Andrea Sperelli lives his life as a work of art, seeking beauty and flouting the rules of morality and social interaction along the way. In his aristocratic circles in Rome, he is a serial seducer. But there are two women who command his special regard: the beautiful young widow Elena and the pure, virginlike Maria. In his pursuit of the exalted heights of extreme pleasure, Andrea plays them against each other, spinning a sadistic web of lust and deceit.
