Cast
Franco Nero · Mita Medici

The past enters an abandoned house.

Franco Nero plays an army officer visiting Elena, portrayed by Mita Medici. Their meeting reimagines the myth of Helen of Troy in a contemporary setting, drawing on the poetry of Yannis Ritsos.

Directed by Salvo Bitonti, the film brings two established Italian performers into a chamber drama about memory, beauty, and the aftermath of conflict. Andrea’s producing credit places it among the early films made through Indyca.
