    • Synopsis
    • In an unusual environment, an inspector goes on a trip to a small village to write a report and in a kafkanian suffocation he intimidates the teacher.
      The Baron appears, changes roles, and the inspector is dragged to a huge mansion. There, the Baron drinks and starts to speech about horses and women he changed with his father. They toast to a woman.
      Idalina serves dinner. She rules. An inspector with a turbid vision. The room is filled with strange covered men, a musical ensemble with dionysian rituals.
      The inspector, sent away by Idalina. He falls asleep while smoking and dreams with hell and a chained musical ensemble, chained. He wakes up in smoke, saved by the Baron.
      In a garden, they trample flowers while looking for roses. Macrophotografy. Blood in their hands.
      Night figures. The Baron shoots. A close up at the daemonic glow of dogs eyes with terrifying jaws.
