Plot

Andrea Artusi is a successful businessman with a beautiful wife, Maria, and a happy marriage - until he has an affair. After his own cheating, he starts to become obsessed with his wife's fidelity.

Sinekatalog’s take

A sharp domestic comedy about a confident husband whose own straying turns him into a jealous detective of his wife. Its irony cuts both ways, poking at male vanity with wit and some real sting. A smart pick for admirers of sophisticated European relationship comedies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
