I ragazzi di Torino sognano Tokyo e vanno a Berlino(1985)
Vincenzo and Luciano, after having witnessed the successful performance of a Japanese ensemble in Rome, return to Turin with the firm intention of putting on a concert, baptizing it "Electronic Granita" and producing themselves as dancers. It’s the story of two friends, Vincenzo and Luciano, who want to set up a show centred around Japanese allures. But Cristina's aggressive love threatens to divide them. Luckily, they run away together to Berlin, escaping the strength of femininity and re-establishing, at least ideologically, a virile and homosexual domination.
