The Mouth of the Wolf
La bocca del lupo
Synopsis
The romance between a tough Sicilian guy and a transsexual former junkie whom he met in prison is interwoven with a poetic reverie of the port town of Genoa, depicted in all its mysterious, fading glory, in a combination of documentary, fiction and melancholy home movies from the past century.
