Comedy

Alberto Sordi directs and interprets a corrosive comedy, another "story of an Italian" that makes you smile and reflect. An arms dealer is exposed and would like to return to an honest business. But his family does not intend to give up that bloody money.

VIBE

This film offers a biting, cynical look at the absurdity of war profiteering. It's a darkly humorous, uncomfortable ride that leaves you questioning human nature and the lengths people go to for money, even when faced with their own moral decay.
