01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film's plot is often compared to Pier Paolo Pasolini ''Teorema (film)'', in which a strange visitor to a wealthy family seduces the maid, the son, the mother, the daughter, and finally the father, before leaving a few days after, subsequently changing their lives.
