Director Diego de Brea is once again returning to the film giant Luchino Visconti, this time for his latest film The Innocent, based on the novel of the same name by the Italian representative of decadence, Gabriele d'Annunzio. The novel, the film, and now the stage setting depict a world of luxurious villas and elaborate decor and the sensual atmosphere enjoyed by the Roman aristocracy. The story gets complicated when the wealthy and attractive but arrogant Tullio learns that he is not the only one involved in love affairs in his marriage to the charming Guiliana. Unexpectedly, the revelation that his wife cheated on him arouses love for his previously emotionally distant wife. This newfound love convinces him to forgive her extramarital affairs, but he is suddenly struck by the news that Giuliana, with whom he has no children, has become pregnant with his lover. Since the director of Mladinski's premiere this time has already met with Visconti, it is a matter of continuing the creative dialogue between the creators.
