Veronica (Caterina Murino) is a beautiful woman who works in a clothing store with her mother Luciana (Valeria Fabrizi) and is married to Mario (Alessandro Gassman), a salesman. Veronica has a hard time getting her husband to pay attention to her, unaware that he's been sharing his affections with a large number of other women while taking care of sales calls. Veronica and Mario have been trying to have a baby without much luck, but on the day that she learns that she's pregnant at last, he comes home with the sad news that he's been diagnosed as sterile. Veronica is at a loss to understand her current condition until she remembers being mugged several months before and was knocked out cold, waking up to find rent-a-cop Gabriele (Michele Venitucci) coming to her rescue. However, Veronica still has no answer to her biggest question -- what does she do now that she's expecting a baby that she knows her husband didn't father? Il Seme della Discordia (aka The Seed of Discord) was an official selection at the 2008 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
