Edit
Bene was an actor particularly dedicated to the theatre, and his movies are kind of experiments that trie to accord the theatrical strength of monologue with the evocation of the images. Here there's no a real plot, and the protagonist is a man that we found in different - quite surrealistic - situations and ambients: there he proceeds with streams of consciousness and monologues about his condition of precarious health human being, as someone that's not able to understand the meanings of events and life. In a sequence of images that communicate not in a narrative sense but because evocative, evanescent and dreamy, the plot is destroyed for a consciousness omnipresent but incapable to follow an organic path of life.
