It’s early in the morning, the sea at Ostia is calm. A man knocks at the door of a woman’s house: he is going to sell her a watch. It is early in the morning again when, a few days later, a young assistant professor of philosophy will be left out of the group chosen for the exhumation of Nietzsche’s body. Two grievances. Two apparently incompatible families: the Pavone and the Vismara. Bourgeois and intellectual the former, proletarian and Fascist the second. Opposing factions that share the same jungle: Rome. A banal incident will bring the two poles into collision. And the folly of a twenty-five-year-old man will lead to a showdown that reveals everyone has a secret and no one is what they seem. And that we are all predators. (Venice International Film Festival)

I must say that according to the annotation, I was expecting a greater, slightly more unorthodox, fun. It had good moments, but it also had moments when I prayed for it to end as soon as possible. Neither of the families offered any words of sympathy. On the contrary. One of the families - the bourgeoisie - is full of avant-garde ideas, beliefs, and pretentiously always above everything, while the others are naglovs, which indicates how it works in Italy today. In the context of comedy/drama, I was rather terrified at the thought that someone like these families exists among us.
