The Year of the Cannibals: The escape
The streets of a big city are covered with dead bodies, but people seem not to notice and pass by indifferently. Antigone (Britt Ekland) and Tiresia (Pierre Clementi) are running away from the police; left naked in the middle of the street, they hide in a Church which is Santi Nereo e Achilleo, in Viale delle Terme di Caracalla.
