The Cyclone is a 1996 film directed by and starring Leonardo Pieraccioni.
Early summer 1996. Levante Quarini (Leonardo Pieraccioni) is a young accountant of Tuscany who lives his unhappy relationship with women. He lives with his father Osvaldo (Sergio Forconi), his brother Libero (Massimo Ceccherini) and his lesbian sister Selvaggia (Barbara Enrichi) on a lonely residence surrounded by corn fields. They are far from the major roads and signs are far and scarce, but that is not a problem since the dirt roads are used usually only by the locals who know them well.
On an apparent everyday evening a sign pointing to a nearby agritourism fell and a bus with a group of flamenco dancers due to town for a recital, get lost. They can't find their way to the agritourism and their lazy manager had forgot to confirm reservations so their rooms aren't available anymore anyway.
They have no chance but to stop at the Quarini residence to spend the night, and the story unfolds from here....
