Antonio Dorigo is a successful, middle-aged Milanese architect: at work he has achieved everything, but his personal life has remained in ruins. For many years, fearing closeness with women, he chose the safest option for himself—paying for attention—until one day, in a brothel, he met the young dancer Laida.

Antonio Dorigo is a successful professional, but in love he keeps losing. Used to buying tenderness and avoiding real intimacy, he meets Laida and becomes painfully attached to her. She plays with him, takes advantage of his weakness, humiliates him, and tests him to the limit—while he, blinded by passion, agrees to anything just to avoid losing her. What will this dependence lead to, and where will his obsession take him?
