Later, Riccardo meets a young woman, Eva (Erica Blanc) and they become lovers. One day, Barbara (Maria D’Incoronato), Riccardo’s 16-year old niece turns up asking for her aunt Elisa. She is told that Elisa is away on a cruise, but the young girl seems unconvinced. Then the telephone rings, and it is Barbara who manages to pick it up. A stunned Riccardo listens as the girl seems to be having a conversation with his murdered wife.
