SYNOPSIS:
When her parents die in a car accident, adolescent Biancas universe is upended. Staying alone in the familys Rome apartment and entrusted with the care of her younger brother, Tomas, she struggles to hold things together as her place in her surreal new world becomes blurry. Life is further complicated when Tomass gym-rat friends invite themselves to stay indefinitely. Using Bianca as a lure for a heist theyve concocted, they convince her to initiate a sexual relationship with enigmatic blind hermit Maciste, played by Rutger Hauer. But as the two spend time together, Bianca unexpectedly finds normalcy and acceptance in the aging B-movie star and former Mr. Universes rococo mansion.
