Because they can't pay the bill, Stefano (Danilo Micheli) and Diana
(Anna Massarelli) use the excitement resulting from the suicide of a young
woman to make a getaway from the hotel they have been staying now way too
long. At the racetrack, they almost lose their last money, when
eye-patched Countess Angela (Anna Bruna Cazzato) gives them the tip of a
lifetime, but in return demands Stefano to "open the gate". He
has no idea what that means but figures it sounds simple enough. They
soon move in with the Countess, and while Angela and Diana feel more and
more drawn to each other, Stefano is drawn to a secret underground room by
Sibilla (Mirella Venturini), who not only drugs him and has sex with him
but also shows him how Angela makes Diana the centerpiece of an orgy.
Eventually, Sibilla turns into Angela, and then Angela and Stefano has
sex, when Diana comes in. She freaks out finding her boyfriend with
another woman ... and throws herself out of the nearest window. When he
goes looking for her body, Stefano instead finds himself amidst the
brutally slaughtered bodies from the orgy. In the end though, reality
catches up with him again, and he has to take responsibility (Whatever
that is) for his girlfriend's death ... A weird movie that
loses itself somewhere between sexscenes from the sleazy end of the
softcore scale, scenes of utter horror and sequences that are too surreal
to be, well, true. And the story carrying all of this doesn't make too
much sense, but that I reckon is intentional. For a time all this
confusion does work for the movie, which comes across a little bit like a
mystery that reinvents itself every few minutes - but eventually, the
whole thing gets a bit tiresome, because while the film seems to take a
new direction every few minutes, it's at the same time pretty repetitive.
Add to this a directorial effort that's not able to mirror the
otherworldliness of its story in style, and you are left with ... well,
still a pretty weird movie, but not as weird as it could/should have been.
