Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This slice of New York life from the perspective of one Italian visitor to the Big Apple is on-target with its portrayals of New Yorkers and the situations the visitor encounters. When Marco (Luca Barbareschi) is on his way in from the airport he meets a young man on the bus who offers him a place to stay for awhile. Marco then has a discouraging encounter with a former lover that does nothing to brighten the city's wintry landscape, and a one-nighter with another woman is a little less than ideal since she only speaks French. Marco goes on to experience the city and begins to enter into a somewhat ambivalent relationship with the young man who so generously shared his apartment.
