Overview

Andrea, the troubled only son of a wealthy Italian publisher, is consumed by psychological turmoil and an unhealthy attachment to his mother. His inability to form normal relationships manifests in voyeuristic behavior, particularly toward his stepmother and Carol, a young American woman he films in secret. As Andrea's compulsions escalate, he becomes increasingly isolated, haunted by his regressive desires and morbid fantasies. Even as he manages to draw Carol into his orbit, his obsession with retaining his inner world of memories and games keeps him teetering on the edge of reality and detachment. This is a moody Italian thriller steeped in psychological tension and erotic undertones.
