LONG LIVE THE MONKEY

by Marco Colli

synopsis

The grotesque drama of two unmarried sisters is played out in a rundown middle-class apartment block, inhabited by people from all walks of life. The return of one of the sisters, in fact, jazzes up the lives of everyone in the building. Although wildly different the two women are weighed down by the same background and their cultural baggage of bourgeois respectability and pious hypocrisy.
Completely under the thumb of their elderly handicapped mother, they both worship a little monkey called Tombo, all they have left of their father who died in Africa many years before.
