This is perceived by Emanuela, the girl who hopes to conquer him, and by Gabriele, her secretly gay brother who has the same dream.

Alessandro's mother, completely unaware of these emotional cross-currents, hires Laura to give him additional lessons in their home.

Gabriele senses an opportunity when he comes across a vantage point where he can look into Laura's apartment and, borrowing a sophisticated camera, is able to take shots of her naked and playing with herself, which he then uses to blackmail her into exposing her body progressively to Alessandro.

At the end of term, Alessandro escapes this tense environment by going to stay with his earthy uncle in the country and has an encounter with a maid, which gives him sexual confidence.

They confront Gabriele, who sees that his plot has failed, and Laura rewards her saviour with a long night together.
