Film Synopsis

An actor by profession, Giovanni Pallidissimi remains true to his ideals, even though he is far less involved in leftwing politics than he once was.  On hearing that his twin brother Pippo has just committed suicide by putting a bullet in his head, Giovanni has no choice but to return to his home town to attend the funeral and comfort his family.  Naturally, being a staunch Catholic, his mother cannot except that her son killed himself, so, to avoid causing her further distress, her family rally round and do their best to convince her that Pippo was the happiest of men before he died.  In fact, Pippo was driven to suicide after breaking up with the love of his life, Vanda.  When he meets his brother's former lover, Giovanni finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, but it isn't long before the ghost of the dead man begins to haunt their developing romance...
