Storyline

Giovannino grows up and seeks his way, exemplary in his total and definitive absence of character. He lets himself be guided a little by everyone, without ever making a decision of his own free will. He first seduces the family servant, then runs away to Rome and tries to marry her unserious daughter to a boarding house owner. But her father arrives from Catania who distrusts her and arranges for him to marry a rich and lame girl.

A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Paolo Nuzzi's vision lands with breathtaking precision.

Every frame feels alive. Giovannino is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.
