Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
In this engaging drama, Alessandro Haber plays Tommaso, a disillusioned factory worker who finally cannot take it anymore and rebels. While he was still a young man growing up on a farm, Tommaso was forced to accept a factory job against his wishes. While he may look like a gruff laborer, inside he has a love for literary expression and a sense for art and beauty. His attempts to turn start over on the path he would have preferred to take have both a humorous and a tragic side. Along with Tommaso's disillusionment are criticisms of what a nuts-and-bolts factory job can do to the human spirit.
