Well, even though it worked better than 'La tragedia di un uomo ridicolo', I have to admit that I still had a hard time to get into this movie. Eventually, I'm not sure what bothered me the most between how disturbing the material was or how the whole thing felt terribly random to me. I mean, you ... read more

Sensing her son is slipping away, Caterina attempts to form a closer bond with him, but the two soon develop an unusual relationship.
