Southern Italy, the 1980s. On a hot summer's night under a full
moon, far from the outlying neighborhoods of a southern Italian
metropolis, Clara stumbles naked, dazed, and bloodied down a major
highway. When she dies no-one is able to say exactly how or why,
but her brother cannot free himself from her memory or from the
questions surrounding her death. The more he learns about her life
and death, the more he uncovers the moral decay at the core of his
family's ascent to social prominence.
