After his young lover, Gitone, leaves him for another man, Encolpio decides to kill himself, but a sudden earthquake destroys his home before he has a chance to do so. Now wandering around Rome in the time of Nero, Encolpio encounters one bizarre and surreal scene after another.

Cinema Atlas Connection
For Climax, I think of some of Fellini's Satyricon, Pasolini's Salo, or some of Caligula by Tinto Brass, because it's always been my favourite film.
