...discovery that her husband (Mario Pisu) has a mistress. She consults a seer, seeks refuge in spiritualism, tries to distract herself by befriending an elegant trollop (Sandra Milo) next door. Meanwhile, she begins to live more and more in fantasy - images of abstract evil, dreams of sexual abandon, phantoms of childhood fears. Not until she at last loses her husband does Giulietta find herself and make peace, albeit rather arbitrarily, with her "spirits...
