 A sad, harsh, violent film. French critics of the time called it the blackest of Bergman’s films.

 Maurizio Costacurta went out of his way to serve you a beautiful novel better, in fact, he wrote four stories in one: that of the architect, that of the man, that of the pacifist patriot, and that of the music historian.

The writing is honest and heartfelt, reminiscent of Strindberg and Proust in style. Despite the light prose, the novel explores complex themes and challenges.
