Rebecca Metcalf Cortese

A young couple drifts through an undefined, timeless space, he tries to gouge out his own eyes in despair; she smacks him on the head, breaking the intensity with unexpected humor. Affection and love remains, but in what form?

Italian film directed by Pierluigi Ferrandini. On the night of May 26, 1956, a terrible bloody event occurred within the home. In Bari at the dawn of the economic boom, the twenty-six-year-old Franco Percoco, coming from a "normal" lower middle class family, carried out a family massacre - the first after the war to have great media coverage - and was consigned to the news as the "Monster of Bari ".
