At the end of WWII, four Italian dignitaries gather eight young men and eight young girls in an old mansion. While three prostitutes are telling salacious anecdotes, the dignitaries play, at first, dirty games with their prisoners then, little by little, propose more violent and degrading activities.

The second half of this very disturbing film proposes a complete catalogue of the sexual perversions described by the Marquis de Sade and ends with unbearable scenes of torture.

For adults, only.
