Brunello Rondi, born in 1924 in Italy, began his film career in 1947 and quickly became known for his collaborations with Federico Fellini. As a writer and director, he explored complex themes in films like Your Hands on My Body (1970) and Valerie Inside Outside (1972), showcasing his ability to blend psychological depth with eroticism. His directorial works, including Ingrid on the Road (1973), reflect a distinctive approach to narrative, contributing significantly to the evolution of Italian cinema.

He is dominated by uncontrollable impulses and suicidal fantasies, while his regressive behaviour makes him lonely and frustrated.

Finally, Andrea wins Carol over but is still tormented by the fear of losing his own private world of memories and macabre games...
