and Marcello open the doors of their beautiful Italian home every year,
welcoming an unpredictable cast of characters to attend a painting
course. Old friends join new, including a prisoner on parole, a svelte
Texan divorcee, a failed novelist, an undercover policeman and a
mystically-inclined Japanese professor. Drama can always be counted on
at Casa Cinghiale.
Then, the young cook goes missing. A body is
found and suddenly everybody is under suspicion as age-old truths and
lies bubble dangerously to the surface…
Staged against the breath-taking back-drop of the Tuscan hills, Illusion is a thrilling black comedy where nothing and nobody are quite what they seem.
