NOI NON SIAMO COME JAMES BOND

Mario and Guido have been friends for decades and their friendship helped them both survive the cancer which had struck them. They are fifty years old now and the moment has come for the two oddball, feisty and inseparable friends to make a final balance of their lives, visiting those places which had cemented their friendship back when they were two twenty-year-old wanderers: the beach of Sabaudia, Perugia, the Forest of Introspective Spirits at Borgotaro. And where does James Bond fit in? Well, Sean Connery, with his perfect tuxedo and vodka martini firmly in hand, has always been their model of reference, their incomparable ideal. Has the moment come to have a chat with him, after all these years?

“Getting around is a big like making documentaries: you know where you’ll leave from, but who knows where you’ll end up... So, the question I had thought of in the beginning, ‘Why do we get sick?,’ struck me as increasingly inadequate. It transformed and sublimated itself into the story of a friendship. And cancer is the most authentic setting for it.”
