Three stories, three portraits of young men learning the realities of adult life.
Boxing takes us into the world of gyms, a world of bodies, of nerves stretched to the limit, of sacrifice and challenge. Two young men face each other in the fight of their lives.
Horses takes place in a remote unnamed rural setting. Here, two brothers, each given a horse as a present by their father, confront each other sensing that two different destinies await them.
The Monkey deals with the fragility of identity and the desire to escape and disappear. When Nico discovers that his boyhood friend Piero has made the sudden, shocking decision to start acting like a monkey, he is led to question the basis on which he has lived his own life.
