Plot

Nina and Bernardo live together. The first is an idealist, fixated on politics and decidedly leftist, convinced that everything she does can guarantee a better world. The second is an intellectual and writer, but destined to make the "eternal promise" for life. At the same time, Giulio, arrogant and indifferent, is engaged to Simonetta, a blonde dazed who sometimes stumbles on the subjunctives. Nina and Giulio casually meet and from the first moment they hate each other; in fact each sees the world with different eyes than the other. The boundary between love and hate, however, is very blurred and so they are overwhelmed by passion. All this brings into play the beliefs and ideals of two people who should be natural enemies.
