In this idiosyncratic, sardonic and slyly funny tale, two middle-aged misfits ramble by car around the Veneto countryside, picking up a shy architectural student on their wayward travels. With echoes of Don Quixote, this ambling shaggy dog tale is shot through with understated wit and psychological insight. It’s a genuinely distinctive film that offers a refreshing take on contemporary Italian life.
