Torture Me But Kill Me with Kisses
When Marino goes to Rome for an event, he certainly does not imagine meeting Marisa, who will become the love of his life.

Repentant, Marino searches in vain and then, almost by accident, finds her again, Mrs. Ciceri. But love admits no obstacles, not even that of a deaf and dumb husband.
