Procida, a little Island in the gulf of Naples. Last days of summer. The adolescence of Domenico is coming to an end, just like his tormented relationship with Marcello. Domenico looks for hospitality at Antonios house, his best friend, but soon he finds himself alone with the thirteen years old Antonios brother Lallo. A journey of discovery starts, between adolescence and maturity. The meeting with Sara, a transsexual woman, will bring to light the desires of the two young boys.

荒凉的旷野，一群暴虐的劫匪正在鞭挞一位美丽的姑娘玛丽亚（萝蕾丹娜·卡波莱特 Loredana Cappelletti饰）。幸得迪亚戈（弗兰科·尼罗 Franco Nero饰）的解救。他神秘而冷峻，拖着一副棺材漫步在泥泞的荒野上。迪亚戈带着玛丽亚来到荒凉的小镇，人们对他的到来充满好奇，更对这副棺材里隐藏的秘密而惶惶不安。 本片作为意大利西部片的经典暴力之作，曾在世界多国遭到禁映。2012年，鬼才导演昆汀·塔伦蒂诺拍摄的《被解放的姜戈》，向此片致敬。
