Social outcast Lorenzo tells his anxious parents that he's been invited on the ski trip with the snooty kids, then persuades his mother to drop him off a block from the train station so that he can slip back home and live unbothered for a week in a secret cellar in the family's apartment building. All's well until his obnoxious half-sister materializes. A best seller in Italy, and—here's the rub—Bernardo Bertolucci is directing the film version.
