Theorem is an Italian language movie directed in 1968 by Pier Paolo Pasolini with Laura Betti, Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti, Terence Stamp, and Anne Wiazemsky.

Plot

"In Pier Paolo Pasolini’s new film, 'Teorema,' Terence Stamp plays God. Or he plays the devil. Or he plays Christ. Or he plays a hustler with a heart of gold.

"Whom does Terence Stamp play? That’s the question a lot of baffled movie buffs are asking.

"Stamp plays a mighty mysterious stranger. Handsome, husky and gentle, soft-spoken and all-knowing, he comes drifting from out of nowhere to pass some time with the family of a wealthy Milanese factory owner. In swift succession, he engages in sexual affairs with all members of the household: the fanatically religious maid, the sensitive son, the emotionally repressed mother, the timid daughter and, finally, the tormented father. The stranger gives unsparingly of himself, asking nothing in return; then one day he leaves, as suddenly and mysteriously as he came. Unable to endure the void in their lives, the mother becomes a nymphomaniac, the son a demented painter, the daughter a catatonic and the father a sexual prowler. The servant, on the other hand, takes to working miracles."
