During the year 1673, Rome was besieged by poverty and violence. The rich Mr. Argante has two servants to look after him, while his wife is only waiting to see him dead to inherit.

VIBE

A darkly funny, cynical look at the absurdities of life and death. It feels like a twisted, theatrical farce where everyone's motives are suspect and the only certainty is the grim reaper's eventual arrival.
