Synopsis: "An older man, who describes himself as a 'classical scholar', holidays in Venice and becomes infatuated with a (very) young waiter, who he dubs Ganymede. His obsession with the boy leads him into an unwise involvement with a dubious Italian businessman and his family, and ultimately results in tragedy." -- Blair
