Arquivo / 49ª mostra

Over the course of one day, Fausto, invincible in his inertia, watches a paradoxical procession of visitors pass by: the mellifluous village parish priest; a mysterious man with his absurd idea of a ghost-themed business; the captain of the Carabinieri who proposes a shotgun wedding with his daughter, who’s carrying the child of a stranger. Finally, late at night, a pair of thieves, in cahoots with Barbara, break into the house. Fausto surprises them, as always impassive and bored, and reassures them: there is nothing left, no gold or paintings, everything has been sold. The three can only chat until sunrise, when the thieves leave, and Barbara puts the coffee on the stove.

Presented at the Venice International Film Festival.
