"See that statue? It's cold, like you." -- Lorenzo (VITTORIO MEZZOGIORNO)

Locked in a museum after dark, Lorenzo and Sandra engage in a session of passionate lovemaking. Though Sandra had been reluctant at first, she consents to Lorenzo's advances after he accused her of being frigid. The next day, however, when Lorenzo confesses that he had a set of keys all along, Sandra accuses him of rape. What follows is a strange court case where the prosecutor finds himself on trial as much as Lorenzo.
