What happens

Senso '45 (also released internationally as Black Angel) is an Italian erotic drama film written and directed by Tinto Brass, based on the novella Senso by Camillo Boito, which also inspired Luchino Visconti's 1954 film. Instead of being set during the Third Italian War of Independence, the film is set in Venice during the last months of the fascist regime. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
