In this beguiling magical realist film set in 1980s Italy, Arthur (O’Connor), a disheveled British archaeologist, has turned to a despondent life of crime since he lost his one-true-love. Teaming up with a Fellini-esque gang of street performers/ graverobbers and under the rueful protection of a fading aristocrat (Rossellini), Arthur uses a dousing rod to locate hidden buried antiquities to sell on the black market—all the while longing for a reunion with his love in the spirit world.
