Armonia & Nicky / Harmony & Nicky

Felix von Bassenow's homecoming after a long trip through southern Europe is the event that sets "Harmony "in motion and leads to a series of sordid events. In the suffocating atmosphere of the Bassenow castle at the turn of the century, Felix reunites with his extravagant and sickly wife and allows himself to be seduced by young Mila as he witnesses the crumbling of his atavistic convictions. In "Nicky," a baroness on vacation in the country watches her adolescent romantic anxieties resurface under musician Enrico Fantoni's spell, all while in an idyll truncated by the outbreak of war. "El regreso a casa de Felix von Bassenow, despues de un largo viaje por el sur de Europa, marca el cominezo de" Armonia "y da origen a una serie de acontecimientos sordidos. En la sofocante atmosfera del castillo de los Bassenow a comienzos del siglo XX, Felix se reencuentra con su extravagante y enfermiza esposa y se deja seducir por la joven Mila mientras asiste al desmoronamiento de sus atavicas convicciones. En" Nicky," una baronesa de vacaciones en el campo ve renacer las inquitudes romanticas de su adolescencia bajo el hechizo del musico Enrico Fantoni, todo mientras se encuentra en un idilio truncado por el estallido de la guerra."
