A young man tries to find meaning and direction in his life He stumbles from job to job, until he serves his mandatory (In Italy) Civil Service. He discovers himself along the way.
The story more or less develops as you watch. There's modern music, quick Camera Angles, and so on. When this film was released in Italy, it was dubbed the Italian Trainspotting for many reasons. The funny thing is that the story has nothing to do with Trains, there isn't a major drive by the lead to do drugs, and it really focusses on just one character, so you can see the similarities. Actually, it was probably the style of the film that earned this distinction.
When I saw the film, I got a lift to the theater by the director of the movie, and his wife. If the film were bad, I probably would've elevated its rating based on this, but fortunately, the film was great.
