Overview

Roman police detectives interrogate a series of potential perpetrators in their struggle to determine whom to arrest for the brutal murder of a beautiful prostitute whose body is discovered in a park on the day of a torrential rainstorm. One by one, the prime suspects -- girl-crazy teenager Nino, pickpocket Canticchia, a soldier on leave, a tourist and a pimp -- recount the events of the day to the police, each insisting he is innocent.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut procedural mystery that fragments into competing testimonies, where truth remains slippery and everyone is a suspect. The film moves through interrogation rooms and rainy Roman streets with mounting dread, leaving you uncertain whom to believe.
