action
Niccolò Vivaldi is a cellist in Verona . Whether inside the philharmonic orchestra or on the street, the man suffers from his inconspicuousness. He is always overlooked by everyone around him and his career does not advance. One day he photographs his beautiful, somewhat naive wife Costanza in revealing poses and shows the photos to his best friend Cavalmoretti. He soon caught the attention of the whole orchestra with the photos.
One day when he accompanies Costanza for a medical examination, he instructs her, for no apparent reason, to get completely free; the doctors pat him on the back. As a result, he is getting her to undress in public more and more often. Niccolò's candaulism , the urge to attract attention with Costanza's physical stimuli, develops into an obsession. At a performance of the opera Aida , Costanza is among the choristers. In the middle of the performance she takes off her clothes in front of a large audience and stands stark naked on the stage. Niccolò is admitted to a psychiatric clinic.
