Vitangelo Moscarda (aka Genge), 20-something son of a deceased banker father, discovers that his wife (and Everyone else) sees him quite differently from how he sees himself, sending him down a precipitous path to obsession and madness. He comes to a painful realization that leads him to totally rethink his life and make some drastic changes. Is he truly crazy? or perhaps more sane than anyone else?
