Peppino (Ernesto Mahieux), a taxidermist in his fifties, develops feelings for Valerio (Valerio Foglia Manzillo), a much younger man who is fascinated by his work. He hires Valerio as his assistant, and their friendship seems to develop into something more until a girl enters into the equation. 

The film will be introduced by Dr. Stefano Baschiera, Queen’s University Belfast, and is presented in collaboration with Detect: Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives (detect-project.eu).
