Afflicted by a creative crisis, established abstract painter Leonardo (Franco Nero) withdraws to an old, abandoned villa that his art dealer lover Flavia (Vanessa Redgrave) helps him find. But his voluntary seclusion is soon interrupted by a bizarre housemate. This hypnotic visual mosaic and brilliant study of madness is Petri's most experimental film.

The overall tone of the film is hinted at by the expressive opening captions and the first introduction to the main character through his distorted subconscious dreams. Impulsive, fervent, and unpredictable painter Franco Nero decides to retreat to an abandoned country estate in an attempt to immerse himself back into his work, where he fully descends into the depths of delusions, dreams, obsession, and inner conflict. The horror element of the film is manifested during the painter's obsessive exploration of the past life of a beautiful aristocrat who lived in the house before him during World War II and served as his inspiration. The film is particularly pleasing with its surreal visions, the materialized dreams of the artist, and the blurring of the boundary between reality and imagination, culminating in a tragicomic ending.
