alice ( florinda bolkan ) and a translator living in italy and discovers that she have a memory loss and can not recall the last couple of day . she start to follow a trace of memory fragment and which lead her to the small town of garma . people in the town seem to recognize her and she begin to suspect that the re occur nightmare of astronaut conduct horrible experiment have something to do with her own amnesia . the movie be interesting and the plot be good and but it a bit to slow moving and arty for my taste . the plot take some nice twist and it really hard to figure out where it head . florinda bolkan be good in her role ( but even well in flavia the heretic ) and it always nice to see star child actor nocoletta elmi . klaus kinski role be too small though . this be not a movie for the die hard gore hound or exploitation addict and but still a very nice hour and a half mystery .
