A modest Neapolitan man meets a young woman with excessive hairiness. He exhibits her at fairs and marries her. It is after marriage that he receives a tempting offer from a French manager.

VIBE

A strange, darkly comedic fable about exploitation and the bizarre nature of love. It feels like a peculiar, slightly sad European folk tale brought to life with a unique, off-kilter sensibility.
