Teorema is an idea a concept a piece of something. Into this movie, based on Pasolini's novel with the same title, the author explains is own view about a class of people. During the 60's italy hand a very "easy life" period. The middle class was the principal image of good values. Pasolini took one example of middle-industrial class in Milan and shows the contradictions of a family obliged to hide everything thati is versus the common sense, that is the moral sense im this case. A guest arrive from nowhere. In spite of the others he is silent. One by one the people in the house change attitudes. The first pat of the movie shows the relation between the guest and the others. The others are unable to listen and the guest, with a non-dialogue shock every belive of the others. The attitude of the guest is similar to tho one of Sufi method where is not neccessary to talk to the one that needs you but the one that needs you will come to you because he or her wants to.
