Description: After her husband Salvatore dies in a fiery car crash—thinking of her in his final moments—the beautiful young widow Catarina (Edwige Fenech) finds herself at the center of a scandalous inheritance battle. According to Sicilian custom, the entire family fortune now belongs to Salvatore’s next of kin… unless Catarina can prove she’s pregnant with an heir.
There’s just one problem: she’s not.
With only days left before the greedy brothers-in-law seize everything, Catarina’s conniving mother hatches a risqué plan—find a man, any man, to impregnate her daughter and secure the estate. But this is easier said than done, especially when the brothers barricade the mansion with guards, dismiss the servants, and vow to keep every would-be lover out.
As eager townsmen scale the villa’s walls by night and get tossed out like sacks of potatoes, the clueless and heartbroken Catarina clings to the memory of her dead husband—whose funeral portrait mysteriously changes facial expressions in response to the unfolding chaos. Enter Carlo (Carlo Giuffrè), a charming rogue with debts to settle and eyes on the safe… not the widow. But a tempting offer from Catarina’s mother—”sleep with her and your troubles are gone”—throws his plans into romantic disarray.
While farcical misunderstandings, dream sequences, and slow-motion caveman fantasies fill the days, lust, love, and legacy collide. Catarina must decide whether to betray her values or surrender to desire, while Carlo stumbles between guilt, greed, and genuine affection.
Will true love—or pure strategy—deliver the heir that saves the day?
