Plot summary
In late-nineteenth-century Sicily, the wealthy Zia Croce has a large, successful farm, which she runs with her cousin, Zio Simone. He is married to Mita, and is downcast because they do not have a son to inherit the farm. Zia Croce also has a daughter, who wants a son of her own for the same reason. Their situations are apparently solved, but actually complicated, by the appearance of Liola, whose seductive powers are put by both women to practical use.
