Spoilers ahead
Daniele Dominici is hired as a substitute teacher at a liceo classico in Rimini, bringing with him a history of unexplained gaps in his employment. In his first class, he asks the students to choose between writing about a free topic or, if they prefer, the writer Manzoni. To his surprise, only one student opts for the second choice: the quiet and attractive Vanina, whose presence gradually commands more of his attention. He begins to court her and even lends her the book Vanina Vanini by Stendhal, a gesture that hints at the tension between art, desire, and danger that threads through the story.
