The Story of a Poor Young Man
Romanzo di un giovane povero
Synopsis
Two neighbours, young Vincenzo and old Mr Bartoloni, are utterly unhappy. On the one hand, Vincenzo must lead a miserable and frustrating life as he cannot find any regular job, despite his Arts degree. On the other, Mr Bartoloni is fed up with his despotic wife: the woman who used to be a beautiful artist is now a fat and shabby drunkard. The two men meet on a particularly sad night and, during an outburst, Mr. Bartoloni asks Vincenzo to help him to get rid of his wife by simulating an accident with the promise of a reward.
