General comments: The dialogue is dubbed in sicilian dialect. It is not clear whether the movie is set in present time or some years prior, but most likely in the present time, unless the women were not properly costumed due to the film's limited budget (they were wearing modern day lingerie). However, some of the furniture seems to be old, as with an old radio seen in Beatrice's room. It is not entirely clear what the exact family relations are between some of the characters, although I would logically conclude Nobili and Evangelista are Malone's brothers. The rather violent box cover pic showing Malone striking a semi nude Prado with Kiss trying to intervene, was most likely shot that way to spice up sales, as not such violent acts take place in the movie.

Scene 1: This is a set up scene (non sex) that takes place at the farm house of Don Peppino (Robert Malone). All the characters are sitting at the dinner table. Don Peppino is a despotic pater familias who imposes his iron will on the family. He has arranged for the son of a wealthy baron to marry his daughter Beatrice (Natalie Prado), but she is a rebellious young girl who professes to love someone else, Rosario (Davide Del Gaudio), who Don Peppino disapproves of, due to his poor social standing. Don Peppino wants none of it. The movie seems to be sold and grouped by various web sites with the "incest" genre, although nothing more than uncle-niece sex seems to take place.

Scene 2:
Assunta (Sheila Kiss) is taking a pee in the fields. While she is doing that, in voice over she says she hates Don Peppino and is displeased that her husband (Silvio Evangelista) is so subservient to him and does not stand up to him. She wants to take revenge on them both. Her business over, she walks over a dirt road and meets up with Rosario. He is happy to see her as he tells her that he is frustrated that Don Peppino does not let Beatrice out of his sight and is being constantly guarded by Assunta's husband. He pleads with her to arrange a meeting with Beatrice to let her know he really cares for her. Rosario also lets on that her husband is a womanizer who blackmails all the women in the area for sex if they want to work for the family. Assunta decides this is the right opportunity for her first betrayal and revenge and seduces the more than willing Rosario (anal, facial).

Scene 3: Assunta returns home to find Beatrice sulking at a table. Beatrice has not seen or heard of Rosario in several days and is worried. Assunta hands Beatrice a letter from Rosario, indicating he wants to see her. Assunta tells her that tomorrow is the right opportunity as Don Peppino is going to town to sign some papers with the notary.

Scene 4:
The next day, Beatrice shows up at her rendez-vous. She loves him very much and wants to run away with him. They have sex (anal, he jerks off on her shaved pussy)

Scene 4: Brief scene of Beatrice walking outdoors with her mother Natalie (Rosalia Olmi). Beatrice pleads with her to try to convince her father to let her marry Rosario instead.

Scene 5:
In a room of the house Andrea (Andrea Nobili) is explaining to his girlfriend (Karma) that he expects her to remain very faithful to him, and that he will kill her if she strays. She says she has no problem with that, and they have sex on the table (anal, facial)

Scene 6:
Rosario is outside the house and briefly speaks with Beatrice. He pleads with her to run away with him, but she wants to wait a while to see whether her mother can convince her father to abandon his plans to have her wed the baron's son. They are surprised by Evangelista who chases Rosario away.

Scene 7:
It is night time, Beatrice is sleeping in her bed. Her uncle Evangelista sneaks into her room, and tells her that he has watched the two lovers have sex, and that he will not tell her father if she grants him certain sexual favors as well. They have sex and she is more than pleased with the shagging she is getting (anal, facial).

Scene 8:
There is a brief confrontation between father, mother and daughter Beatrice. Don Peppino tells her that everything depends on her marrying the baron's son, as everything they have (house, land) they owe it to the baron. But Beatrice still refuses to give in.

Scene 9
The mother is sitting on her bed weeping and grieving in reading a note her daughter left her saying that she has eloped with Rosario. Natalie is comforted by Assunta, who initiates her in lesbian sex. While they are so caught up in lesbian pleasure, they are surprised by Don Peppino, who tells them to continue and he joins them for a 3-some (anal for Kiss, Malone jerks off on Olmi's hairy pussy and Kiss's mouth). However Evangelista is watching the whole scene from the partly opened doorway, and he is soon joined by a horny Karma (facial) and they fuck in the corridor outside.

It appears a sequel of sorts seems to have been recetly released by FM Video called PADRE, PADRONE - L'Epilogo, also set in Sicily, supposedly also with some "incest" theme", and with only Roberto Malone from the original cast, also starring Asha Bliss and Chloe' Delaure.

As requested : -)

"Asha Bliss, Cloe' Delaure [what's with that apostrophe?], Simona Xay, Ernesta
Topazio". Males: Roberto Malone, Bruno SX, Cristian Duro [C Devil], Tony
Argento [NS], Stefano Kramer [NS]. The end-credits differ slightly:

Average mafia-hokum made worthwhile solely by Asha, who as ever raises the bar
for the other cast. This girl is simply fantastic, but so often wasted in ho-hum
flicks. Unintentionally amusing, watching Malone's ill-founded conceit that he
can act- if he ever had lessons, they must have been during the 'silent' era : -)
95 min.

1) Asha and Chloe- brief but hot lezzery;
2) Monica Osky- anal with Bruno;
3) Asha- anal with Malone, who keeps on his black t-shirt, I assume in a vain
attempt to disguise his monstrous pot-belly. It doesn't work, and the scene is
saved only by the sublimely succulent Asha;
4) Bonny Bon- anal bbg with Bruno and and an apparently uncredited Kid Jamaica;
5) Chloe- anal, +Cristian;
6) Asha - anal with Cristian.

Thanks...
I really can't think of any male euro actor that seems to have mastered some concept of basic classical acting. For the US actors you would have to go back to the 1970's and 1980's. Now all they know (or at least what the director wants of them) is how quickly they can drop their pants, screw in a number of positions and more or less come on cue.
Malone has an odd and particular acting style which harks back to the ealry period of silent movies, which involves an excessive use of hand and body gesticulations to overstate what is more than obvious to modern day audience.
With regards to this "sequel's" storyline, what does it really involve (family members sexually intermingling with each other)?

I forgot that you had made a comment about the spelling of the name Chloe (one of the French co-stars of this "sequel"), and that you felt that it required no accent.
I am no expert on French culture, but the name Chloe does take an accent.
Perhaps the explanation below may be helpful to better understand the origins and spelling of this name:


Chloe meaning and name origin
Chloe \ch-loe\ as a girl's name is pronounced KHLOH-ee. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Chloe is "green shoot". From Khloe, originally used in the classical period to symbolize the fertility goddess Demeter in blooming and verdant glory. May be connected with Chloris. Appears in the Bible as the name of someone mentinoed by Saint Paul, and also as a name in literature, especially in the tale of Daphnis and Chloe, set to music by Ravel. Adopted by Puritans in the 17th century. In French it is spelled Chlo?, and sometimes in English it is spelled Chlo?. Chloe can be used to create compound names like Chloe-Anne or Chloe-Louise. Candice Bergen has a daughter named Chloe. Actresses Chloe Webb, Chloe Sevigny.
In France it does take an accent, but when the name is used by people living in other countries, they usually shed the accent for the sake of expediency.

I am perfectly well acquainted with the French aigu- Clo?.
And although I can hardly claim to be a fluent Francophone I have yet to encounter
the usage Cloe' : -)

No idea; my Italian is charitably described as poor- and even had I the wherewithal,
I would not have wasted it trying to decipher this particular piece of hogwash : -)

4WIW I gathered that Balloon- sorry, Malone- was Asha's 'daddy'.
Poor girl; she would have been better off orphaned.

I am not very familiar with Delaure's career or the way her name has been spelled in the movies she has appeared in.
Has she ever been billed as Cloe' in either movie credits or box covers? Really don't know.
Do people at FM Video know how to write/spell her name (they seem to at least for the box cover, which proably they could not really alter much)? Can't really comment on that either.

There is/was a very famous American video outfit in the US which some years back was frequently soundly criticized for mispelling people's names. I have seen enough distortions of people's names in movie and box covers in US and Europea that I hardly notice anymore. Even some names which are fairly simple to spell and pronounce get distorted. There probably is some weak overview of credits and box covers at the final stages of editing and printing at many of these companies. Some is intentional (especially if they are trying to repackage the movie and trying to fudge the credits to mislead people) and some is obviously not.

I only note solecisms for the sake of db accuracy.
Like you, on a personal level I hardly notice them- but occasionally a particularly
egregious example will give me pause. I also try [but sometimes fail] not to
be too parochial about it- Brits are just as apt to mangle foreign names as
anyone else.
