The Man Who Didn't Want to Die
L'uomo che non voleva morire
Synopsis
A young man lies in a hospital suspended between life and death. The police know nothing about him.

But someone is still trying to kill the patient, and as his life is continually threatened, his memory slowly comes back to him…!
