All in That Night
Giorgio, married to Daniela, would like to take his beautiful lover Gloria somewhere to spend the night. So he asks his brother-in-law Marco, who is leaving for a week in New York with his wife Lucia, to lend him the house. Although Marco is a little hesitant, he eventually agrees. After a romantic dinner, Giorgio goes to Marco's house with Gloria to spend a night of sex. But the couple did not take into account Enzo, the boyfriend of Ilenia, the cleaning lady of that house, who, being up to his neck in debt to a loan shark, had entered the apartment shortly before with the intention of stealing something. Thus begins a long night during which all sorts of things will happen.
