One Streak of Crimson on Liza's Shroud (Great Title)
Directed by
Fulvio Lucci (Great Name)



An enigmatic writer disappears. An alcoholic painter believes he may have seen something that would explain the the mystery. Despite several false leads, he finds himself faced with the decision to betray his own best friend.



Unfortunately, I'm not really into my plotline. I'd have gone with:

Liza & Sara are two strangers who meet in a performing arts school. When Sara disappears Liza must uncover a plot relating back to an ancient Egyptian cult and lesbian blood drinking cults.
