11° FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE CINEMA GIOVANI
Italian Competition 1993 - Fiction
PRIMI SOSPETTI (IPOTESI PER UN FILM)
Country: Italy
Year: 1993
Duration: 1'50''
A man receives the gift of an automatic watch from his fiancée. Every time he puts it on his wrist, it stops, despite what the jeweler keeps on repeating - that there is nothing wrong with it. The man is more and more obsessed by this apparently inexplicable fact. He yields to his fiancée's urgings and undergoes a medical examination. He thus discovers that the light tremor in his left hand that he never had given any importance to is the cause of his watches not working. This is the first symptom of Parkinson's disease.
