Kaos
"Kaos" consists of four stories plus epilogue, set in 19th-century Sicily. 'The Other Son' - A mother spends her life waiting for news from her two sons (emigrated to America) while ignoring her third, because he is the reincarnation of the bandit who raped her. 'Moonsickness' - A newly-wed peasant girl discovers that her husband goes mad every full moon. She arranges for a male friend to protect her, but they end up in bed together just as the moon emerges from behind a cloud. 'The Jar' - A rich landowner hires a master craftsman to repair a giant olive jar, but the craftsman gets trapped inside. 'Requiem' - Villagers band together in an attempt to force their landlord to let them bury their dead. 'Dialogue with the Mother' - The writer Luigi Pirandello talks with his aged mother about a story he always wanted to write, but which he never managed to capture in words.
