This film is the result of Ferrari's latest exploration of the role of men in modern social civilization and small families. Gerald, an engineer, was abandoned by his wife and left his youngest son Pielot to him. When the factory announced a holiday, he treated the babysitter as a lover; in a short time, he went through the vexing process of the development of their relationship characterized by the struggle between the sexes. Gerald is completely dominated by male consciousness characterized by sexual intercourse. When his sympathetic relationship was in crisis, his lover became good friends with his ex-wife. He cut off his genitals with a kitchen chainsaw out of protest and despair. Most of the events that can be used as a model (as on the theatrical stage) take place in a small high-rise apartment. Ferrari criticizes the male chauvinism of his protagonist, but also shows the despair and frustration caused by life (work, housing, the same order of life, loneliness). If the film leaves a contradictory impression, it is because it raises questions in a unique way: the man is the victim of his behavior and the victim of women's total resistance; Ferrari also uses a variety of techniques in this film.
