In reality, Massimo has always refused, on an unconscious level, to grow up and become part of society.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs an absurd yet piercing metaphor for the fear of adulthood, relying on grotesque comedy to expose a universal anxiety. It explores the stark contrast between the protagonist's childish worldview and the grave concern of his elderly parents.
What lingers after the laughs is a subtle nudge to examine one's own pockets of resistance to growing up. The comedy lands because its core premise, however exaggerated, feels uncomfortably familiar. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Neri Parenti
Best Watched
With a warm drink on a lazy afternoon, for a comedy that tickles the funny bone and gently prods the mind.
