- Synopsis:
- Giovanni (Jean Sorel) is shot in an underground parking garage by a mysterious bearded man. As his life flashes before his eyes, through flashbacks we learn about his life and what led to this moment. His flirtatious wife, Lucia (Ewa Aulin) and the fissures her behaviour creates, complications with the family business, Lucia's relationship with a travelling hippie and her beautiful mother-in-law (Lucia Bosé). With its delirious editing, continually returning us to the site of his murder, Giovanni's life turns in on itself as the film explores masculinity, eroticism, and the uncanny.
