Plot summary
Born in a small town in the countryside surrounding Pistoia, Adriana is an attractive young girl who counts on using her looks to go places in the entertainment business in Rome. Moving to the capital, she works first of all in a hairdressing salon, then in a small cinema where she manages to get a job working in fancy dress. Meantime, she socializes with young men of the upper middle classes, who take her to parties and out on the town with the sole aim of taking advantage of her. Adriana knows their game, but plays along. In the meantime, she meets an agent called Cianfanna, a modest money-grubber who introduces her to a journalist friend of his so he can write an article on her. Having thus launched her career in advertising, Adriana decides to go home to visit her parents. Once home, however, she is distraught to learn of the death of her sister. Returning to Rome, she takes acting lessons, but during one lesson she suddenly faints: she is pregnant, with no idea of who the father of her child is. The days go by and Adriana tries to forget about her pregnancy, while sleeping with an increasingly long list of lovers. And yet, despite the fact these encounters are often less than enjoyable, at one point she actually falls in love: his name is Antonio and he's a decent young man from a respectable family, but still in love with a former girlfriend he is unable to forget…。平静的一天,事业小有成就的中年男子杰米(费尔南多·卡约 Fernando Cayo 饰)和妻子玛尔塔(安娜·瓦格纳 Ana Wagener 饰)、女儿伊莎(曼纽拉·维拉斯 Manuela Vellés 饰)搬入了梦寐以求的大房子内。正当一家人争论晚上该不该一起度过时,三个蒙面歹徒闯入房中。为了保护家人的安全,杰米积极配合,抄下了信用卡号码并交出手机,并随同歹徒的首领外出取钱。他时刻寻找机会报警,却不知自己所面对的是根本不会妥协的冷血恶魔。另一方面,不断有访客扣响杰米家的房门,恐慌的玛尔塔母女则想尽一切办法逃脱,似乎又让一切变得更加糟糕。
似无止境的长夜,愈加黑暗幽冷……。
