        I saw the film when it came out and I would like to give a decent
synopsis beyond the mere: gay professor goes to a resort town in Italy
and falls in love with a gay man during Fascist era.  Also, the film is
an adaptation of a book by the same title, written by Giorgio Bassani.
        The film has not made it to the US.
