Synopsis

[edit]

Unknowingly, respectable schoolteacher Gualtiero leads a double life as Walter who frequents nightclubs every night. Whereas Gualtiero is engaged to a fellow teacher Anna, Walter is a carousing womaniser. Pierina, one of his students who has a crush on him, discovers about his nocturnal visits and seeks him out. They enjoy a romance, but by day he remembers nothing about it. Eventually when confronted, he visits a psychiatrist who reveals he has a duel personality with strong contrasting traits inherited from each of his parents.
