Country: Italy
Year: 1997
Duration: 19'52''
A little story set in the countryside around Vercelli at the end of the 1950's. It is a story that everybody would want to expand; but, instead, it is a story that reveals the inadequacy of the three men in their respective roles. (The women pull the strings of the story as well as of life itself.) For this reason, they end up talking of soccer, cars, and the army because "men's business" is what gives them the illusion of power, and so holds them together, and above all reassures them.
