Film Synopsis
In Fascist Italy in 1944, four wealthy noble men meet to discuss their macabre plan, which will begin with the capture of nine young boys and nine young girls from the nearby villages. With an army of servants and four prostitutes, the four noblemen - a duke, a bishop, a president and a judge - lock themselves away in a palace near to Marzabotto in the Republic of Salò. The proceedings begin with the noblemen marrying each other's daughters...© James Travers
