Sinossi

Cast & Credits

A man too small, a boy too tall, a girl with her mouth made over all meet by chance. An encounter that seems fated to have no story but, as fate would have it, it becomes the tormented chronicle of denied love.

Peppino, the man too small, is a taxidermist. Valerio, the boy too tall, is a waiter. Deborah, the girl with her mouth made over, is one who continually changes jobs…  all have different dreams, hidden needs, secret drives.

They are three castaways trying to cling to the certainty of a love that can justify the common ills of living and make them normal.

They are just as incapable of communicating the ideals of the others as they are incapable of accepting them, they will tragically become lost.
