Marcello Mastroianni stars as a self-centered Sicilian nobleman facing a mid-life crisis. He's lost all romantic interest in his wife and becomes obsessed instead with marrying his teenage cousin. In 1960s Italy, there is no divorce. So he devises an elaborate scheme for another man to seduce his wife. This would, under Italian law, allow him to kill her with impunity in defense of his honor. The choicest scenes are the fantasy murders he imagines and the extraordinary lengths he's willing to go in pursuit of his goal. (official distributor synopsis)
