She wishes to pay homage to her father who died when she was still a little child. In Volterra, Andrew meets for the first time Gianni (Jean Sorel), Sandra's brother. He soon realizes that Sandra and Gianni have a secret since their childhood.
Secrets and whisperings. All of Visconti's talent is in this movie, beautiful scenes with beautiful actors, mystery, psychological torment,... Past and present, death and life are intertwined on the screen and little by little, one starts suspecting something else... Slowly, the terrible secret so well kept within the walls of the palazzo's garden, emerges. Only "grande familie" can generate and keep secrets like that. Only Visconti, born and raised in one of them could depict that so well. Received the Grand-Prix at the Venice Film Festival.
