Plot

Alfonso is a teenager who lives in a wealthy family, with an adulterous mother and a foolish father.

It is one of a group of Italy-Spain softcore film co-productions, alongside Historia de Eva/Piccole labbra (1978), both featuring Bárbara Rey.

The film is one of Gemser's films that features her husband Gabriele Tinti in a minor role.
