CUORE DI CANE

Under a scientist's scalpel, a bastard is transformed into a man. But it is not the "beast" become intellectual, it is the human spirit that lowers itself to the canine level. Or probably the truth is it somewhere else? Perhaps, simply, it is man who is more cruel and senseless than any animal. Pallino's is the story of the Canid man and Russia at the time of the revolution. A vibrant and ruthless story at the same time: a story in precarious balance between fiction and theatre, between grotesque and acrid science, between the everyday life of the Soviets and the absurd.
