Art restorer Stefano arrives at an isolated Italian village to repair a fresco depicting the agonizing martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The original painter was a death artist – a madman so obsessed with mortality that, according to whispered rumors, he tortured his models in their final moments of life.
When people begin to turn up dead, Stefano is forced to consider the possibility that the artist has returned to continue his brutal career – and that he is the primary target.
Pupi Avati directs from a script he co-wrote with Antonio Avati, Gianni Cavina, and Maurizio Costanzo.
Lino Capolicchio, Francesca Marciano, and Gianni Cavina star.
