Shooting begun in 1978... production interrupted for "lack of funds"... negative lost by the lab... 29 years later and The Insignificant Other make its public debut: not on schedule, but right on time.

"The time is the summer of 1978, the place an elegant country villa in
the outskirts of Padua, Italy. Lisa and Bob, two American yuppies in
their mid-twenties, have been invited to sojourn there during their
vacations by the owner, Cesare, though he be absent; neither was
forewarned, however, of the other's probable presence.

"Several months later, in the course of a visit to the villa in the
company of two of his lady friends, Cesare -who has received letters of
complaint from Lisa and Bob about their experiences while they were
his guests -reflects in depth, from his own cosmopolitan perspective,
on what may have occurred to make their stays so unpleasant." - N.
