Summary
In the final days of Mussolini's puppet republic in northern Italy, four wealthy fascist libertines abduct eighteen teenage boys and girls and imprison them in a remote villa. Over a structured series of escalating depravities narrated by aging prostitutes, the captors subject their victims to systematic humiliation, torture, and violence as an allegory of absolute power.
