The locations in Perfidia are all rather anonymous: Sassari, which features in the film, is a standard provincial European town, a rather everyday place where it’s easy to become isolated, as Angelino does. Of it, we see Rizzeddu, Predda Nienna, the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Cemetery, where Angelino’s mother is buried. And then there’s the luna park in Piazzale Segni, where Angelino takes the only girl he’s at all interested in, Troncu Reale, and the public gardens of Porto Palmas.
The sea also remains anonymous, with its steep and impassable rocks: it makes us feel like we’re elsewhere, in the North: Ireland, for example.

35-year-old Angelino doesn’t have a job or a girlfriend. Since the death of his mother he’s been living with his father, with whom he doesn’t have much of a relationship. Until that is, the latter falls ill.
