Three people talk about their lives to an interviewer who wants to write a book about pleasure and keeps finding himself facing their pain. Leonardo, codenamed Mister Wolf, is the 'bull', an alpha male who brings a samurai's discipline to serial sex; Eva, the First Lady, is the 'sweet', queen and slave of male desire; Giorgio, the President, is the 'cuckold', a consenting betrayed husband who wallows in his impotence but never stops pulling the strings. Together they form the most classic of erotic triangles, in which pleasure and pain, transgression and rules, freedom and possession are tightly intertwined.
