Triest in the year 1911. Ernesto is
the privileged, seventeen year old
son of a Jewish mother and a
non-Jewish father, who has deserted
his family. He is raised by his
uncle Giovanni and his moaning aunt
Regina, who send him to work at the
office of a trading company. Ernesto
doesn't take his new job very
seriously, he wants to become a
violin player. One day when he is
alone in the storage, he is
approached by a young stable hand,
to whom he has given working orders
before. They agree to meet. Ernesto
is very aware of the sexual
intentions of the man. He is curious
and starts having sex with the man
frequently. But after an
overwhelming heterosexual experience
with a prostitute, he decides to
avoid any further contact with the
man. He quits his job and
concentrates on studying the violin.
During a concert, Ernesto meets a 15
year old violin player of classic
beauty called Emilio. The two boys
start an intense friendship that is
troubled by jealousy and
possessiveness. Until Emilio
introduces Ernesto to his twin
sister Rachele. Then Ernesto becomes
insecure and confused. Does he want
the brother or the sister? |
