Adelaide is a high school teacher whose ten year marriage is on the rocks.   Suddenly a co-worker is murdered and Adelaide meets the handsome police commissioner, Gaetano, who has been assigned to investigate the case.   Using the investigations as an excuse, they fall in love.  
The laid-back tone of the film and the way the murder case is dealt with and Adelaide’s amicable persona, as well as the exuberant pace of the narrative attenuates the moral indictment of adultery.
