Afflicted by a creative crisis, established abstract painter Leonardo (Franco Nero) withdraws to an old, abandoned villa that his art dealer lover Flavia (Vanessa Redgrave) helps him find. But his voluntary seclusion is soon interrupted by a bizarre housemate. This hypnotic visual mosaic and brilliant study of madness is Petri's most experimental film.
