Experiencing Interruptions?

A not Perfect Desire

The young Giona (Jonah) and Adamo (Adam), a man much older and happily engaged to Eva, meet at a dinner party. Giona feels an immediate attraction toward Adamo. Adamo is confused but is tempted to succumb to the very same desire.

Adamo lives a perfect life in a Paradise he laboriously created, that is starting to feel like a prison. Like a tempter devil, the boy is offering Adamo the apple of sin that will destroy his artificial Garden of Eden.

Giona, however, soon discovers that you need to be careful what you wish for and he starts to gain a better awareness of himself, at the expenses of Adamo who proves to be selfish and immature.
