Italian director Marco Ferreri's art-house classic follows a disaffected man through a single night of cooking, adultery and murder. When Glauco (Michel Piccoli) comes home to find his wife (Anita Pallenberg) sick in bed, he cooks a fancy dinner and then seduces the maid. While preparing the meal, Glauco discovers an old gun. After several mock suicide attempts, he makes a fatal choice and then drives off into the sunrise to start a new life.
