Set in Naples in the aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Goncharov is said to star Robert De Niro as protagonist Lo Straniero/Goncharov, a Russian hitman and former nightclub manager.The narrative includes a romantic subplot involving Goncharov and his enemy Andrey (Harvey Keitel), whose relationship with Goncharov is described as having homoerotic overtones. His wife Katya (Cybill Shepherd) similarly has an affair with Sofia (Sophia Loren); both Goncharov/Andrey and Katya/Sofia are popular ships within Goncharov's fandom. Another prominent character is Joseph "Ice Pick Joe" Morelli (John Cazale), a psychopathic assassin known for using ice picks, whose subplot in Goncharov is said to feature themes of mental illness and childhood trauma.The film apparently features a recurring motif of clocks. One version of the plot outlined by The Washington Post ends with Goncharov betrayed and murdered, as well as the deaths of most of the other characters.
