IMDb synopsis: “Leon (Whitworth) is a good hearted boy who can’t stay out of trouble. When a tragic turn of events costs his mother (Kinski) her life, Leon’s abusive and alcoholic father (Bytne) returns to “take care of” Leon, his two brothers, and his sister. Leon is haunted by guilt over believing he caused her death, and because he hadn’t told her he was sorry. His father still drinks, and it gets worse, culminating in an argument with a drunken Roger Ellis (the father) and Leon, ending with Roger dead. Leon tries to take care of his family, but the death is quickly discovered and Leon goes on the run, more from himself than from the law. As the police try to find him, Leon finally discovers that he shouldn’t fear the love of others, and should except forgiveness.”

IMDB synopsis: “Massimo Lucantoni (Manfredi) is a film writer in Rome, who is having some trouble with writing his first novel, because he feels too much distraction. There are noisy neighbours and his wife who has actually been separating from him. He takes the chance to rent a luxurious poolhouse from an eccentric but obviously no more so rich as they pretend to be aristocratic couple. Living in that poolhouse he meets Nastienka (Kinski), who is waiting for her prince charming in the near of the pool. She obviously beliefs in the supernatural world, as she explains to Massimo that her lover will soon arrive on a horse to take them both to a faraway place. Nastienka also has the ability to talk to animals (at least to her own dogs). Massimo falls in love with Nastienka and tries to win her love. “

Another collaboration with Maselli which seems to have received no distribution. Nostalgia Kinky says of it: “A fascinating two character driven piece that I unfortunately can’t offer a proper review to as I don’t have an English language friendly version of it. I can however say that it is one of the most striking films starring Nastassja that I have seen as it is literally a production obsessed by her face. Featuring in nearly ever shot of its slim eighty minute running time, Nastassja’s face is shot in some of the longest and most loving close ups of her career. It’s as if Maselli had seen the famed close up of her in Paris, Texas and decided to make a feature around it.”

FilmAffinity synopsis: “Lucia (Kinski) is a volatile, exciteable young woman. She forms a romance with Carlo (Dionisi), who is somewhat callow and is very skittish. Their romance is not an easy one, but they are assisted in coping with its ups and downs by their mutual friendship with Franco (Citti), an older, wiser and more stable man.”
