A cryptic, minimally-spoken allegory about a mysterious seducer who catalyzes spiritual and existential upheaval in a bourgeois Italian family, leaving profound ambiguity about his nature and purpose.
A wealthy Italian household is turned upside down when a handsome stranger arrives, seduces every family member and then disappears. Each has an epiphany of sorts, but none can figure out who the seductive visitor was or why he came.
