Ischiano Scalo, un pueblecito de cuatro casas junto a una marisma llena de mosquitos, es el escenario en que se desarrollan dos tormentosas historias de amor. Una es la de Pietro y Gloria, dos chiquillos; ella es hija de un director de banco; el, de un pastor psicopata; ella es guapa, segura y algo arrogante; el, timido, irresoluto, sonador. Y, a pesar de todo, un extrano sentimiento, que se parece curiosamente al amor, los atrae. La otra historia es la de Graziano Biglia, un playboy venido a menos que ha regresado a Ischiano tras anos de ausencia y que se enamora de Flora, una mujer sola y misteriosa con la que todo el mundo guarda distancias en el pueblo. / IschianoScalo, a village of four houses next to a mosquito-infested swamp, is the place in which two tempestuous love stories are told.
