Mid 1960's. In the sea-port town of Genova in the Northern part of Italy. In the secret club "Primavera", Italy's high-class married ladies, party every night with gigolos. Among them, there is one noticeably charming and sparkling young man called Luca. This man has been chosen as a "companion", by Irene, the wife of a shipping magnate. The club proprietress, Aura, together with Antonio, fear for Luca. In that woman's eye there is a look of foreboding... Luca, unminding, probably naively starts to fall for Irene.
