The photographer in a small seaside village is visited by a spirit who gives him the power to kill people if he uses his camera to photograph photographs of his intended victims.
Rossellini had created a strange and enjoyable moral comedy with the photographer deciding who is bad and who isn't and losing sight of his strict moral compass as he goes about his business. The comedy is quite broadly mixed with some extreme, almost slapstick elements. The cast is enormous and you quickly get to recognise and enjoy the company of both good and bad as in any village. An eccentric pleasure.
