"Italian machos show their best side, and hence also their worst. Two men, each holding a bunch of flowers, are standing side by side on the corner of the street. Both on their own, they are waiting for someone. Then their wait gradually changes as they subtly and with increasingly treachery challenge each other's pride”. (Rotterdam International Film Festival 2000)
