Spoilers ahead

From the terrace of his building, Professor Bellavista keeps watch as Halley’s Comet streaks across the night sky. The goalkeeper Salvatore and his friend Saverio, instead of framing the celestial event, pivot their telescope toward the window of the opposite building, convinced they are witnessing the murder of Mrs. Jolanda, a second-hand clothing dealer. When they reach the scene, the mistress of the suspect apartment—a fur trafficker—is missing, leaving ragù on the stove, and though no body is found, the sense that something is amiss lingers in the air.
