Moscacieca

Anna Grimaldi, an attractive widow, lives in a luxury villa amid tropical landscape on a Caribbean island. Her late husband only left her his debts, and now she is forced to turn the villa into a luxury boarding-house. Anna worries permanently about money, and is very relieved when she finally finds guests for the season. But Anna`s nephew Max is causing her concern yet again. Max, a difficult young man, is unable to stand on his own two feet. His insatiable desire for a life of luxury and his compulsive gambling keep getting him into trouble with both the criminal underworld and the police. He urges his aunt to give him money, but this time Anna is insistent that he should work with her to resolve their financial problems. Her entire attention in this respect is focused on a newly-arrived guest at the hotel.
