As his life flashes before his eyes, through flashbacks we learn about his life and what led to this moment. His flirtatious wife, Lucia (Ewa Aulin, \u003cem\u003eDeath Smiles on a Murderer\u003c\/em\u003e) and the fissures her behaviour creates, complications with the family business, Lucia’s relationship with a travelling hippie and her beautiful mother-in-law (Lucia Bosé, \u003cem\u003eFellini Satyricon\u003c\/em\u003e). With its delirious editing, continually returning us to the site of his murder, Giovanni’s life turns in on itself as the film explores masculinity, eroticism, and the uncanny.
