overview
Geremia, an aging tailor/money lender, is a repulsive, mean, stingy man who lives alone in his shabby house with his scornful, bedridden mother. He has a morbid, obsessive relationship with money and he uses it to insinuate himself into other people's affairs, pretending to be the "family friend".

Geremia falls in love at first sight with the bewitching creature and and soon indulges in a "beauty and the beast" relationship...
