Escalation

Set in London, "Escalation" follows Luca, a young man enjoying his 'swinging' years while his father pressures him to take over the family business. In a drastic move, his father plots to have him kidnapped and placed in a sanitarium, where Luca endures electroshock therapy aimed at 'normalizing' him.

The film delves into the absurdity of societal expectations and the clash between personal freedom and familial duty. After his treatment, Luca is coerced into marrying a woman who is actually a psychiatrist tasked with molding him into a compliant businessman.

For collectors, "Escalation" stands out not only for its comedic take on a tumultuous period but also for its representation of the counter-culture movement. It is available in multiple formats, including blu-ray, DVD, and VHS, making it accessible for various collection preferences.
