Synopsis:
In the shadow of a squalid farmhouse, under a suffocating oppressive heat, a troubled family struggles to face its fears, doubts and discomfort. Underlying tensions starts to surface. Each furtive glance, sound or bestial act further amplify the despair and morbid promiscuity which characterize the situation. Exasperated by the madness of a sweet but cruel son, only one person in the family is resolutely determined to break the status quo through a tragic and grievous act.



Sinossi:
In uno squallido casale di campagna, sotto un caldo afoso e opprimente, si trascinano i dubbi, le paure e i malesseri di una famiglia senza controllo. A tensioni mal represse fa eco una promiscuitą morbosa, e il perturbante si insinua in ogni gesto,rumore e bestiario. Se poi il grande assente č il futuro, non basta la follia di un figlio dolcemente crudele a mascherare quel senso di ineluttabilitą contro cui č inutile combattere.
