IT. In un paese della Puglia, l'aitante seminarista Ercole (prete mancato a causa di un trauma che gli ha fatto perdere la parola) va a fare l'autista e l'infermiere (di Parsifal, figlio paraplegico dei padroni) in una ricca e bigotta famiglia di proprietari terrieri, diventando presto l’amante della moglie del padrone (e di fatto domina della casa), la bella baronessa Clotilde. In un contesto familiare e sociale dove contano solo il denaro, il sesso e il potere, tutti cercano di approfittare di tutti, ma il vero saprofita (come l’organismo vegetale che si nutre di sostanze organiche in decomposizione) si rivelerà proprio Ercole.
EN. By all accounts, this slick production aims at exposing the corruption of southern Italian Catholicism. A young seminarian who can't be ordained because of a speech impediment leaves the seminary to take a job with a wealthy baroness' crippled son. The seminarian is a lustful and mendacious rascal, but soon after taking the baroness to bed he heads off to Lourdes with the boy, ostensibly in hope of a miracle for the lad. Instead, he seduces a very devout woman who is visiting the site with her grandmother, who dies. This is just the main story.
Director: Sergio Nasca.
Cast: Valeria Moriconi, Al Cliver, Giancarlo Marinangeli, Janet Agren, Cinzia Bruno, Giancarlo Badessi, Clara Colosimo, Daniele Dublino, Rina Franchetti, Dada Gallotti.
