Reviews
“There were seldom such good conditions for a film in the 1980s, but ultimately it cannot meet the expectations. In a merciless search for the mythical and the lyrical, he appears mannerist and artificial. "
"[ Desiderio is] Anna Maria Tatò's superficial description of an equally superficial vacation flirt."
