A Curious Man

The story follows Moriondo, a man in his mid-forties who has spent much of his life immersed in billiards. Returning to his hometown after a long absence of fifteen years, he seeks to reclaim lost memories and feelings. However, he encounters a web of silence and mystery surrounding the death of a friend, Count Luigi Ambrosi, who was murdered under peculiar circumstances involving a cyanide egg.

As Moriondo navigates this unsettling atmosphere, he discovers that the man convicted of the crime, Panozzo, may be innocent, according to the count's wife. This situation leads him into a deeper investigation, revealing connections to his own life and the people he once knew. A Curious Man combines elements of mystery and personal redemption, which may appeal to collectors of vintage television films looking for unique narratives from the 1970s.
