Over time, however, Monika gets closer and closer to one of her professors, Bruno de Angelis, a non-conformist teacher of art history.
Following an inappropriate episode at her sixteen-year birthday party, Monika decides that Leo isn't the right guy for her and starts falling in love with the professor. The latter and Monika, one day, have an interesting conversation about love and its meaning. The conversation ends with a kiss and the professor and Monika make love, but he is at the same time the lover of the wife of the lawyer Moroni, who in turn is in love with Monika.
