Peppino (Mahieux) is an aging taxidermist constantly ridiculed for being short and somewhat creepy. He meets Valerio (Manzillo), a handsome young man fascinated by Peppino's work. Peppino, in turn, becomes entranced by Valerio and offers him a large salary to come work as his assistant. But when Valerio meets Deborah (Rocchetti), their fledgling romance is threatened by an insanely jealous third wheel. (imdb)

Laudable realism, but the story doesn't really hold up to Garrone's later works. Still good.

Unsettling in showing three fidgety characters with an ache to live. They need one another in a very egoistic way. It reminded me of "l'Amico di famiglia" by Sorrentino.

I hardly remember a thing about this; perhaps some grim visuals, but I gave it a 6 on IMDB which means it was well worth a watch.
