The young Casanova lives with his mother in the banlieue. One day he meets the young thief Syl in the halls of the Gare Saint-Lazare. In order to impress the young woman, he promises her that he will also become a criminal and murder women every day. This is where Casanova finds his sexual fulfillment. When his mother discovers the many corpses, she becomes jealous. When she also finds a photo that shows Casanova and Syl, she threatens to go crazy.

Now that Syl is also dead, Casanova burns all women's corpses and goes to his mother to give herself to her in love.
criticism
“Despite the symbolic overabundance, the pop-like staged game of mother-son conflict has no individual or social concern. Sex film consumers shouldn't get their money's worth here either. "
