Two girls on vacation, enraptured by the charm of Ragusa Ibla, the ancient capital of the county, are diverted from their cultural expedition by an eccentric landlord who offers them hospitality at his B & B in the alley of Vicolo Castiglione . During dinner, while introducing some of the local people (who are actually interviewed in the film), he tells them about a bizarre custom in Ibla, and in Castiglione Alley in particular.
