Elio Petri

Alessandro Fabrizio, Monica Vitti

The story takes place in a small Italian town, where a young priest, Don Giovanni (played by Alessandro Fabrizio), begins to question the authority of the local bishop. Don Giovanni's growing disillusionment with the Church's hierarchy and his desire to connect with the community lead him to disobey the bishop's orders. As he becomes more involved with the townspeople, particularly a young woman named Franca (played by Monica Vitti), Don Giovanni finds himself at odds with the Church's traditional values.
