Synopsis

Two tragic fables based on the work of Luigi Pirandello. In the first, set in the fascist 30's, a man laughs uncontrollably in his sleep--an omnibus bit of absurdism given the frustrations of his waking life. The second story is told in two parts--a contemporary and brutal political kidnapping of a young boy is set in contrast to an earlier and more traditional tale of abduction and enlightenment.
