Program Description

Description

Il Minestrone (1981) 2 hours, 50 minutes

An off-beat comedy that takes a close look at the homeless and the hungry. The story centers around three characters who are brought together through the common human need to survive. Francesco  and Giovanni first meet at a garbage can, fending off a hungry dog for the scraps of food inside. The two men become friends, and soon get thrown in jail for causing a traffic snarl as they look up at the sky.

Once in jail, however, they get to know the "upper crust" Maestro who cops his meals by walking into good restaurants dressed to the hilt and leaving without paying the bill. The three hook up as pals, and the story continues as their adventures take them out into the world again.
