The Lovemakers

“A woman's touch becomes a man's obsession”

In 1885, a wealthy patriarch dies, and his son Ferdinando starts buying out the other relatives to take the whole estate. Only his nephew Amerigo (Jean-Paul Belmondo) holds out, until a trip to Florence puts Bianca (Claudia Cardinale), a prostitute, in his path. Mauro Bolognini sets one family's fight over land and money beside a young man's longing, and what a person is willing to sell becomes the plain question underneath.
