Erotic daydreams and forbidden desires unravel in the strict confines of Italian bourgeois life.
THE MINOR
Suffocated from the stern of the college, Valeria is content to dream and embraces everything and with all kinds of people. When she returns in the family she can realizes her erotic desires.
This is what happens when Catholic guilt meets miniskirts and motorcycles.
If you think Italian sex comedies are all farce and no fever, The Minor begs to differ. Gloria Guida leads a parade of suppressed fantasies, nuns, and scandalous family secrets, with enough wish fulfillment and sunbathing to make a confessional blush. Silvio Amadio delivers both the dreamy and the decadent, all wrapped in 84 brisk minutes.
