The Law
Marietta, servant of aristocrat Don Cesare, is the bellezza of a Corsican town where men gather nightly in the tavern for the 'game of the Law,' selecting one by lot to boss and humiliate the others. Illicit passions abound: the judge's wife pursues Francesco, son of crime boss Matteo, who is after Marietta (so is her brother-in-law); Marietta wants engineer Enrico for a husband, but he claims he's too poor to marry. So she decides to steal herself a dowry. All this may lead to an explosion...and some changes in who dictates 'the law.'
