Sypnosis

Two loosish narrative threads staging two workers in a copper plant : the first one is a tough muscular party animal, who abuses his wife. In her absence he gave most of her dresses to his mistress.
Summoned to the police station, the two women and the man will try to talk that over. Then begins the second narrative thread : an older, respectable engineer comes to town; as he is looking for a housing, an easy young blonde invites him to stay at her parents’ house. When they leave to pay a visit in a nearby village, she lasciviously gives herself to this fifty-something who enjoys that godsend.
