A simple premise. Love blossoms amidst the cinema museum in Turin, Italy. It might seem unlikely that a lovely girl who is the main squeeze of the car thief/leader of the criminal gang in the district had anything in common with the quiet and inward looking night watchman at the museum.
But it was not love per se. They found that they had something to share with each other. The girl is left in a dilemma after she emerges from her hiding. She wants the three of them to live happily ever after.
That was not meant to be. Someone had to bumped off. Tragicomedy in certain scenes but poignant in others. The lingering pan of the camera on the girl's face illuminates her inner strengh and beauty. She does seem to have everything that a man wants from a woman. She herself does not realise that she has that x-factor.
