Summary
Tyvian Jones is invited as a guest to the Venice film festival, at
which will be presented the premiere of the screen adaptation of a book
he wrote. Tyvian is a mean and unscrupulous man whose reputation
is based on lies. It was under his own name that he published a book
written by his brother, recently deceased. He meets Eva, a French
woman who has decided to become a modern female Don Juan. She
doesn’t want to love or be loved. Very soon, Tyvian becomes
fascinated by Eva and even follows her to Rome, where he will suffer a
series of humiliations at Eva’s doing. Having grown tired of this
obsessive love, Tyvian decides to flush all thought of Eva from his
mind by marrying Francesca, a young and beautiful girl. But has
Tyvian really managed to free himself from Eva’s grip...?
