THE LICKERISH QUARTET
Filmed in the breathtaking Castle of Balsorano in Italy's Abruzzi Mountains, The Lickerish Quartet finds three people obsessed with an erotic film that features a striking young blonde woman. When the three - a man, his elegant wife, and her hungry-for-experience son - accidentally happen upon the young performer at a local carnival and invite her back to their castle, they fall into a maze of truth and illusion, as each fulfills their fantasy in the seduction of the mysterious woman.
