The frustration of their meaningless existence is written all over the faces of a Milanese industrialist family – until they are visited by an unnamed guest (Terence Stamp, who died in August 2025). With his arrival, life, love and, above all, libido make their entrance – but the state of happiness does not last forever. His sudden departure brings the yawning emptiness back to the people. Pasolini's most mysterious film – a modern counterpart to the Gospel of Matthew.
