| Summary: | A collection of four short films which take a satirical and darkly humourous look at society and the conditions and circumstances of specific individuals in it. Illibatezza (Virginity) depicts a man's attempts at and obsession with finding a womb to which to return. La ricotta (Cream cheese) is a film about a man involved in a film about the crucifixion, and how religion betrays him just as it did Jesus. Il nuovo mondo (The new world) looks through the eyes of the only man unaffected by an atmospheric nuclear blast over Paris and how those around him have responded and changed. Il pollo rusponte (The range-grown chicken) concerns a typical, quietly suffering family man brainwashed by the t.v. advertising coordinated by a group of experts. |
