SYNOPSIS

A man becomes obsessed by the sight of his own double in an Italian art film from 1961. L'ASSENZA is an eerie tale in the tradition of supernatural tales of possession: this is a story of the fascination that cinema exerts on us – a fascination implicitly narcissistic, morbid, even dangerous.
