Based on leonardo sciascia’s novel A Man’s Blessing, this tense, surreal thriller was one of the earliest works to take the Italian Mafia as its subject. After two men are killed in a Sicilian town, a lonely professor with no family to protect (Volonté) takes it upon himself to investigate the crime. Through this obsessive quest, his life begins to resemble paranoid fantasy—a dark and ominous world that viewers are invited to share.
