action
Michele Apicella, a young math teacher, is employed as a teacher at the elite Marilyn Monroe High School . Michele's behavior is shaped by a series of manias and obsessions, for example he spies on his neighbors and keeps files in which he records their behavior.
At school, Michele met the French teacher Bianca, with whom he fell in love. The looming relationship suffers from Michele's compulsive behavior, which holds him back from showing Bianca his true feelings.
After the murder of one of Michele's neighbors, the investigating police inspector becomes aware of Michele's strange behavior. Later, two friends of Michele are found murdered and he becomes the main suspect, but Bianca relieves him for the time being through a false alibi.
