Fists in the Pocket

Alessandro (Lou Castel) is a young epileptic who lives in a crumbling country house with a blind mother and brothers who treat him as the one to be managed. He decides the family would be better off without them, himself included, and that he is the one to see it done. Marco Bellocchio keeps him close, always in the same rooms with his sister Giulia (Paola Pitagora), and Alessandro sets about it with a calm that nobody around him notices.
